Murdered: Pairadeau Mars

Police are in possession of evidence that showed that the 75-year-old had texted the teen to ask her to come over while his spouse was out.
In custody last night are two girls, aged 17and 15, and three young men aged between 15 and 18. Police also detained a sixth individual who was allegedly found with an item that the killers had stolen from Mars’s Lot 395 Bissessar Street home.
Police recovered a laptop computer, a mobile phone, an Xbox play station, and $20,000 in local currency after arresting the youths, who all reside in Sophia.
The teens have reportedly all admitted to robbing Mars, but also claimed that they had not planned to kill him. They are all likely to be charged with murder by Monday.
The 17-year-old girl was known to Professor Mars, since she had previously lived a few doors away from the victim. She is also said to have been a frequent visitor to the home where the remigrant and his wife lived.
He is said to have often given her small sums of money.
The teen has reportedly told police that after receiving a text message from Mars, she contacted her 16-year-old boyfriend and told him that the elderly man would be alone at home, and they could rob him. The boyfriend reportedly then contacted some of his friends, who became involved in the plot.
Shortly after 14.00 hrs on Thursday, the 17-year-old and a 15-year-old girl went to Mr. Mars’s residence and were invited in.
While the girls were in his study, the elder girl, who had left the front door open, reportedly texted her 17-year-old boyfriend and his associates and told them to enter the house.
The other youths reportedly then entered the study and bound Mr. Mars with duct tape. According to a statement given by the 17-year-old, the retired professor told the teens to take whatever they wanted, but to spare his life.
Instead, some of the youths then gagged the elderly man, then beat and strangled him.
They then gathered up a laptop, play-station, cell phone and $25,000 and other items. After putting the items in suitcases they stopped a passing taxi, which took them to ‘C’ Field, Sophia.
Mr. Mars’s wife, Joan Mars, who was in Linden, spoke to her husband by phone at around 14.00 hrs. She failed to contact him after that.
At around 19.00 hrs, the woman arrived home and found the front door open. She then entered the study and found her husband slumped in a chair, with his hands and feet duct-taped together. Duct tape was also wrapped around his mouth.
Police confirmed that they also found packs of condoms at the scene, as well as sexual stimulants.
The retired professor was taken to the St. Joseph Mercy Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum said that members of the public provided police with crucial information which resulted in the arrest of the suspects.
Some of the slain man’s neighbours had reportedly told detectives that they had seen the youths arrive at Mr. Mars’s residence and eventually leave with suitcases.
Yesterday, relatives of the detained 15-year-old girl recalled that she had left the family’s Sophia home around 14.00 hrs on Thursday to meet her 17-year-old friend, who was staying at her boyfriend’s home in Sophia.
She eventually returned home, but they were unaware that anything was amiss until detectives turned up at their residence Thursday night to take her into custody.
The teen reportedly does not attend school and lives with her grandmother.
And the mother of the detained 17-year-old girl was still in shock when this newspaper visited her yesterday. The woman said that the teen moved from her home a few months ago.
“We had an argument and she moved out and when I saw her back on Mother’s Day she said she living downstairs by her boyfriend and then I told her something and she get vex and she leave again,” the woman said.
She added that she had no idea that her daughter was having a relationship with the retired professor until the teen gave police a statement following her arrest.
“She (17-year-old suspect) said that the man called her and tell her that his wife in the country but she was not at home. He told her what time to go and when she went there she took a (female) friend (the 15-year-old) with her,” the woman said.
The woman added that when the girls got to the man’s home, he asked them to go into the bedroom and take off their clothes. “He was giving them money. He told them he wants to have sex with the two girls, but they refused.”
According to the woman, her daughter told the police that when they refused, the man started to harass them and that’s when the 15-year-old girl texted a friend and a few minutes later, three males barged into the professor’s home.
“She said that they tied him up and they started to pack stuff from his home and then her boyfriend left with one of the boys to get a taxi and she and her friend were waiting at the man’s door. She said while waiting, she heard a strange noise and when she turned back she see this boy put a plastic bag over the man’s face and suffocate him.”
She said that her daughter told the police that they never planned to kill the man but only to rob him.
The woman said that peer pressure got the best of her daughter.
And the mother of the detained 16-year-old boy said that her son became wayward after he started a relationship with the 17-year-old girl who allegedly planned the robbery.
The woman said that she only agreed for the girl to move into a section of her downstairs so that her son would be in her sight.
She said that on Thursday, she went to work and when she got home her son and his older girlfriend were there and everything seemed normal until the police visited their home around midnight.
She later learnt that someone was killed and that her son played a part in it.
“He told the police that his girlfriend told him that the man give her something to drink and then he had sex with her when she became unconscious.”
The woman added that her son said he got angry and decided to go and teach the man a lesson.
“He said that he collected two friends and they went to the house to rob. He said that they tied the man up and he and his friend went to get a taxi and when they went back to the house, they see that the man was dead so all of them got into the car and left the house,” the woman said.
They then went to a house in Sophia with the stolen items.
