The woman has been identified as 36-year old Sirmattie Ramnaress of  2430, 21st Diamond Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara.

The woman’s husband- Police Sergeant Bailey of Vigilance Police Station, East Coast Demerara- was assisting investigators as they comb the scene for clues.

“The house was ransacked and drenched with a flammable liquid and a storage bond at the rear of the building was destroyed by fire,” police said.

Her motor car was found abandoned on the public road at Liliendaal, East Coast Demerara.
