Police on Thursday said they were on the manhunt for a man, who allegedly beat his 16-year-old female partner to death and left her in a hammock, before packing up and fleeing the scene at Baramita, North West District, in an all-terrain vehicle (ATV).
Eon Moore, 40, reportedly fled the scene in the direction of Five-Star Backdam.
Based on information from a nearby cook, the dead girl, Janelly David, from Barama Line, Baramita was killed between Wednesday, January 29 and Thursday, January 30.
Police said investigators and Medex visited a makeshift camp at about 11 a.m. on Thursday and observed that the teen was lying motionless face-up in a hammock. “She was clad in a peach colour top and black short pants. Ranks checked the victim’s body and observed marks of violence to her right eye and what appeared to be swelling to the back of her head,” the Guyana Police Force said,
Police said Mr Moore and the victim and suspect were known to each other, and shared a common law relationship, living together up to the time of her death.
“On 29th January 2025 at about 18:30 hrs, a 31-year-old Cook whose camp is about fifteen feet from the couple’s camp at Baramita, said she saw both of them and the victim appeared to be in good spirits and health at the time. Subsequently, the Cook left her camp and went to Central Baramita and she returned at about 10:30 hrs today, where she saw the suspect packing his belongings on a Red Suzuki All Terrain Vehicle (ATV), which did not have a Registration number,” police said.
The cook reportedly said she asked the suspect where Janelly was and he responded: “She’s sleeping in her hammock”. Police added that the Cook said she immediately checked the hammock and observed Janelly lying motionless with visible marks of violence on her face. At that time, the suspect took off in the ATV.
