AN autopsy done on Wednesday morning has confirmed that 61-year-old businesswoman, Sattie Monica Singh Beekharry, was bludgeoned to death in her Atlantic Gardens, East Coast Demerara home.

The post-mortem was done by Government Pathologist, Doctor Nehaul Singh, who gave the cause of death as brain haemorrhage as a result of multiple trauma to the head, compounded by multiple fractures to a right side rib.

The body was handed over to the relatives for cremation.
Beekharry often travelled to Canada and returned to Guyana weeks ahead of the General and Regional Elections.

On June 1, the businesswoman’s motionless body was discovered in a pool of blood in the kitchen area of her Lot 152 – 154 Begonia Drive, Atlantic Gardens house.

Her alleged killer, who is said to be her ‘close friend’ hid in the upper floor of the two-storey building, and had to be ‘flushed out’ with teargas by the police.

Police arrived at the scene after neighbours reported about hearing the woman screaming for “murder.”

Around 15:00 hrs, on the day in question, the police were able to gain entry into the house after breaking down a door.

The suspect is still in custody and the investigation is ongoing.
