Body of Woman Found at Housing Development

Police are investigating an alleged murder of an unidentified female, which occurred earlier today on the road leading to the New Diamond Development Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara.

According to initial investigations, workers from a construction company were traveling in two vehicles to refuel the company’s excavator, which is used for bridge construction in the New Diamond Developing Housing Scheme.

While proceeding east along the road, they discovered the lifeless body of a female lying face down on the roadway.

The woman was wearing a white jersey with a female photograph on the front, black jeans, and black pumps. A butterfly tattoo was visible on her right arm, and her head was in a pool of blood.

Detectives processed the scene and found a 9mm spent shell about ten feet away from the woman’s head.

A cell phone was also found next to the body. Examination of the body revealed what appeared to be a gunshot wound at the back of her head.

The body has been taken to Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, awaiting identification and a post-mortem examination. Investigations are ongoing.
