A DRUG addict allegedly beat his mother to death and stuffed her body in her wardrobe while assaulting and injuring his four-year-old niece, on Thursday, at Murphy Street, Good Intent, West Bank Demerara (WBD)

Dead is 62-year-old Jennifer Anderson, called “Judith”. The four-year-old managed to leave the house and visit a neighbour, who later alerted relatives, resulting in the discovery of the body in the wardrobe.

Neighbours claimed that they did not hear any noise emanating from the house.
Her body was found by the relative who visited the house. Police are on the hunt for 38-year-old Devon Anderson of Goed Intent, WBD.
The child was taken to the West Demerara Regional Hospital with injuries to her abdomen; she was hospitalised.
Reports indicated that Anderson was home alone with the four-year-old when her son arrived behaving in a manner that would indicate he was “high on drugs”.

It is believed that he committed the acts and escaped.
Residents said that the drug addict would normally steal items from his mother.
Mark Anderson, 42, called “Dan”, a mason of the said address (second house on same land) claimed that he was at home and was contacted by an individual, who related that Kemaya Anderson (the grand-daughter of the deceased) related to him that the suspect assaulted her and her grandmother.

He also stated that he saw that Kemaya had injuries (digs) to her right side jaw and chest area.
As a result, Mark went to the deceased home where he made checks for her and discovered her lying motionless face downwards on the floor in her north eastern bedroom.
The police were immediately summoned to the scene.

The body of the deceased was examined for any marks of violence and several small circular injuries were seen on the face and chest area.
Several persons were questioned in the area but no useful information was received.
