THE post-mortem of Nadina Kalamadeen, the 34-year-old mother of five who was murdered Wednesday night in North Sophia, not far from where she lived by a man she knew well, is set for today.

It is not clear, however, whether her husband knows what has befallen her, as according to her mother, he is way up in the ‘interior’.

The mother, whose name we didn’t get, also told the Guyana Chronicle on Thursday from the family’s North Sophia home, that she was not aware that the suspect, whose name has been given as ‘Raymond’, was seeing her daughter nor stalking her, because, as far as she knew, they were friends.

She said that she regularly saw her daughter in the man’s company, but that they’d usually be drinking or enjoying a smoke at a corner a short distance from where the deceased lived.

She said that had the man been indeed stalking her daughter, she would have known, as Nadina never hid anything from her.

The woman said she was at home when she heard someone scream, but did not take any heed, not knowing that it was her daughter, as she thought it was someone else in the community and their man having a misunderstanding.

She said it was not until someone came to the house and told her that she knew that Nadina had been stabbed.
Said the grieving woman, “I run downstairs without money and borrow a thousand from my neighbour to take my child to the hospital, but by then, her brother had already called a taxi and taken her to the hospital himself.”

Reports are that after the suspect stabbed the woman on Wednesday evening, he attempted to flee the scene, but was thwarted by a resident who chased after him on a bicycle and apprehended him and handed him over to the police.

Nadina Kalamadeen is survived by her five children, the eldest of whom is 20 and the youngest four.
Police investigations into this matter are ongoing.
