Bhola, of La Parfait Harmonie, West Bank Demerara, was bludgeoned and stabbed multiple times by two men who reportedly carted off her cash, gold and other valuables.

Survived by two children, aged 14 and 13, Bhola had operated her shop for about four years.

The gruesome discovery was made after an elder sister had peered through a window and had seen Bhola lying motionless on her bedroom floor.

Relatives allege that Bhola had provided the men with food, and had later found employment for them. According to reports, Bhola had even bought equipment for the men, to assist them in prospecting. It is alleged that the men also sold the equipment after killing her.
