WHAT began as a missing person report has tragically turned into a homicide investigation after police confirmed that 46-year-old Jenny Mohamed, also known as ‘Baby,’ was murdered at her Non Pariel, East Coast Dmerara (ECD) home on June 10, 2025.

Police Headquarters revealed that Jenny was reported missing on June 12 and was reportedly last seen around 06:15 hrs on June 10 by her husband, Rasheed Mohamed, who claimed to have left for work that morning, leaving his wife in the company of their daughter and the daughter’s common-law husband.

The case took a grim turn on June 16, when investigators revisited the residence and made a shocking discovery. “Suspected bloodstains were seen on a couch, walls, and floor of the hall,” police said in a release, adding that further stains were found in a bedroom and kitchen.

The stains appeared to have been wiped clean. A human blood field test conducted at the scene returned positive results.

Jenny’s husband was immediately detained. Further investigation led to a cordon and search operation in the Vigilance Police Station District, during which police arrested the deceased woman’s daughter, 25-year-old Saffia Mohamed, and her son-in-law, Austin Ramchand, 28, both residents of Non Pariel.

Police say a forensic team revisited the crime scene and collected key pieces of evidence, including swabs and blood-stained upholstery. A handwritten note, believed to be from Jenny, was also recovered but deemed suspicious. A vehicle linked to the suspects was examined, and strands of hair were recovered for DNA testing.

During an intense interview session on June 19, Jenny’s daughter confessed to the murder.  According to police, Saffia admitted that “she and her common-law husband murdered Jenny on June 10th, 2025,” providing a detailed account of how they stabbed her and then strangled her using a rope.

Jenny’s body was then wrapped in a garbage bag and tarpaulin and dumped in a trench along Eccles New Road, East Bank Demerara (EBD).

“Jenny then led investigators to the dump site, where the decomposed body was recovered, bearing multiple stab wounds and a rope tied around the neck,” the police said.

The discovery was documented with both video and audio recordings. Further interviews and confrontations followed. Police reported that the daughter’s common-law husband admitted his involvement in both the murder and the disposal of the body.

The deceased’s husband remains in custody as investigations continue. The police noted, “A file is currently being prepared to seek legal advice as charges are expected soon.”
