Investigators report that Saffia and her husband, 24-year-old Austin Ramchand, are charged with the murder of Jenny Mohamed. According to authorities, Saffia repeatedly stabbed her mother and strangled her while Ramchand restrained Jenny in a chair, preventing her escape.
After the attack, the couple allegedly wrapped Jenny’s body in a garbage bag and tarpaulin, disposing of it in a trench along Eccles New Road, East Bank Demerara. Both suspects appeared before Magistrate Sunil Scarce at the Vigilance Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday, where they were remanded to prison without plea. The case is set to be adjourned until August 4 for reports and the filing of statements.
Initially, Saffia and Ramchand attempted to implicate Jenny’s husband, Rasheed Mohamed, in the murder. However, police investigations confirmed he was not at home during the crime, leading to his release.
Jenny Mohamed was reported missing on June 12, prompting police searches. On June 16, forensic teams discovered bloodstains at the home, indicating attempts to clean the crime scene. Jenny’s decomposed body was recovered on June 19 following confessions from the suspects, revealing multiple stab wounds and signs of strangulation.
