Montrose granny murder…Prints at crime scene don’t match suspect’s

– cops seek other man

Police have released a 24-year-old man who was detained in connection with the murder of Carmen Ganesh. A police source said that investigators compared the suspect’s prints with those that were retrieved from the scene, and established that they did not match. The suspect, who was once charged with murder, had also provided investigators with an alibi. Police hoped that they had nabbed the right man after finding two pairs of camouflage trousers, similar to the one worn by the killer, in the man’s home. Based on new information, detectives are now trying to locate another man who also fits the description of the person seen killing the pensioner and rummaging through her house. The pensioner’s battered body was found in her home two Saturdays ago by relatives who went to check on her after she failed to answer her neighbours’ calls.

Do you know him? Carmen Ganesh’s killer

Carmen Ganesh

A post mortem revealed that she died from blows to the head. Kaieteur News obtained the graphic surveillance camera recording of a man calmly clubbing, throttling and then kicking and stomping Mrs. Ganesh. It also shows the killer searching the woman’s apartment and talking to his dying victim through the entire ordeal which lasted almost one hour. He is also seen speaking to and gesticulating at his victim, who was lying on the floor. The suspect, a man of African ancestry, was wearing a pair of three-quarter camouflage pants and purple jersey, and what appears to be a pair of brown shoes. Judging from the killer’s calm actions which were captured on surveillance cameras in and around the Montrose, East Coast Demerara house, family members believe that the man was not there just to rob Mrs. Ganesh, but was calculating enough to ensure that she suffered severely before he finally ensured she was dead. Police had released photographs of the killer to the media, while Kaieteur News posted edited footage online in the hope that individuals would identify him. Family members are surprised that the killer, who had ample time to pack away loot, left behind items of significant value which were bound to attract the ordinary break and enter criminal. On the day of the murder, Police had detained a Montrose businessman with whom the elderly woman and her family had a dispute a few years ago. But the man was released last Tuesday after detectives could not find anything to link him to the murder. Mrs. Ganesh is among 20 women who have been slain for the year.

Prints do not match: Bai Mits, what do you expect, Guyanese is Guyana has to deal with a bunch of duncify goats, coming down from the Ministers to the policemen.

Is these Ministers clamoring for more salaries? The should be ashamed to hold down a position which they cannot handle.

Guyana is such a small country where everyone seems to know everyone and we cannot get a positive ID of this heartless beast. Guyanese need to become their neighbors watchers.  It seems like we have copy cats going after single old women. There is a pattern for these crimes and it's not obvious to the dunce police/detectives. Ramjattan should seek foreign help now.

Agreed! The present Police have nothing to fight criminals with, no sense blaming the last administration, we all know they were a total waste, this government has to step up to the plate.

Mits..database bhai the police need to keep a database

of all criminals convicted or not.The money wasted on

the fiber optic cable should have been spent to create

a database for the the police department.

Bai Django, even database can be altered . You just need a password and a computer. I am sure some of the crimminals can pay enough to get the job done.

Making sense for a change, stop playing the blame game, they are drawing a salary from day ONE, so get on with the work as of day ONE.

Cops now sure they know Montrose Granny’s killer

Police are now certain that they know the identity of the man seen on video recording speaking to 77-year-old Danrasie ‘Carmen’ Ganesh as he calmly beat her to death. Based on the footage they have studied and information that has been provided to them, investigators say the killer is an individual with previous break-and-enter arrests.

Detectives will almost certainly try to determine why he chose to slowly beat his victim to death; why he lingered at the murder scene to search the premises, and why he appeared to be unfazed by the presence of security cameras or oblivious to the fact that he was leaving his fingerprints at the scene. Prior to this, police had detained a 24-year-old man who they had previously suspected to be the man in the video footage. He was released a few days ago after investigators received leads about the new suspect and established that the detained man’s prints didn’t match those taken from the slain woman’s home. The suspect, who was once charged with murder, had also provided investigators with an alibi. Danrasie ‘Carmen’ Ganesh’s battered body was found in her home two Saturdays ago by relatives who went to check on her after she failed to answer her neighbours’ calls.
