Parbhudai Budhram, called “Renie,” a 64-year-old housewife of Lot 1118 Belle West, West Bank Demerara (WBD), was murdered between 20:00h and 08:00h this morning (Saturday) at her home.
According to police, Parbhudai would visit her husband, Anthony Alphonso Budhram, called “Tony,” a 63-year-old tailor, at his shop in Georgetown to assist him with work, and on completion, she would return home, leaving him at the shop, where, from time to time, he would stay (overnight), depending on the volume of work.
On Friday, at about 10:00h, Parbhudai left home and proceeded to her husband’s tailor shop, where she assisted him for the day and thereafter left for her residence in Belle West.
Before arriving home, the woman stopped at a shop in the area where she purchased several grocery items and was escorted home by the shop owner/friend. As the woman arrived home, the shop owner watched as she entered the yard, and he then drove away.
It is suspected that the perpetrator(s) were hiding in the yard and managed to apprehend the woman as she was about to enter her home since there was no sign of forced entry.
Whilst in the home, they restrained her with the use of ‘plastic cable zip ties’ and dealt the woman several blows to her face and about her body.
The suspect(s) then ransacked the dwelling house, as her purse was found to be missing along with her jewellery and US$4,000 from a closet.
The suspect(s) then made good their escape in an unknown direction. The body was later examined by police ranks and was subsequently escorted to the West Demerara Regional Hospital, where she was pronounced dead on arrival, and the body was escorted to the Ezekiel Mortuary, awaiting a post-mortem examination.
Two (2) persons were subsequently arrested and are assisting with the investigation.
