Britisher’s body yet to leave Guyana

–awaiting preparation of relevant documents

THE body of the British woman who was found hanging a few weeks ago at her friend’s Pope Street, New Amsterdam home is yet to leave Guyana for her homeland.
This was confirmed with the Guyana Chronicle on Saturday by Deputy Commander, Senior Superintendent Edmond Cooper.

However, according to other reliable sources, because the relevant documentation was not prepared within the specified 14 days, the body has not been cleared to leave, and is still at a funeral parlour in the city.
Sources claim that every effort was made to have the death certificate form signed up, but because the lead investigator is currently on annual leave and out of the jurisdiction, it has not been done.

On September 10, hours after Sarah Rosemary Dajee had returned from the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA), where she had intended to board a return flight to the United Kingdom, she was found hanging in the living room of her friend’s home just before 19:00hrs.

Dajee, who had accompanied her workmate, Guyanese-born Jessica Grumble here, arrived on August 23, and was expected to depart on September 17.
The Guyana Chronicle has since learnt that the now deceased woman was booked to leave Guyana for the United Kingdom via Barbados on a Liat fight, which was scheduled to depart the Ogle Airport instead of the CJIA.

Following her death, British Deputy High Commissioner, Mr. Ron Rimmer, had travelled to the Ancient County, where he identified her body at the New Amsterdam Mortuary a day prior to the post- mortem.
That procedure, which was conducted by Government Forensic Pathologist Dr Vivikanand Brijmohan, reportedly revealed that Dajee’s death was a result of asphyxia due to self-suspension.

The 50-year-old, who was childless, was employed as an Entry Clearance Assistant at the British Home Office in London.
Following her death, three persons were detained but were released after the findings of the post mortem were released.
