Georgetown: Police are expected to commence a probe of the financial records of a Montrose businessman, after he was first arrested several weeks ago following the murder of 76-year-old Carmine Ganesh at her Montrose, East Coast Demerara home on Emancipation Day. On Saturday, after days of police surveillance, prime suspect Colin Alleyne was arrested more than a month since the August 1, 2015 killing of the woman.
The businessman, who operates a supermarket in the same area where the woman lived.
The police yesterday revisited both the scene of the murder and the home of the businessman as part of their investigations, and what was relayed to them by the suspect.
Thus far, the police have carried out several searches at the home of the businessman, as they sought to ascertain whether he had any documents belonging to the woman in his possession.
Additionally, the suspect also took the police back to the crime scene, where he retraced his steps on the day he murdered Ganesh.
Police sources have said that the steps that the young man retraced indeed matched everything that took place on the day the woman was killed.
He also showed them where he went and accidently removed a disc from a DVD player instead of the disc from the DVR, which had the footage from the surveillance cameras that captured his actions.
The young man had related to the police that after he and his mother were watching the news and she realised that he was the one who had killed the woman, she collapsed.
According to police sources, she later packed up her things and left for the United States.
On the day that the young man was arrested, he reportedly begged the arresting officers for a gun so he could commit suicide, since he felt he would not be able to deal with the consequences of his actions. “I cannot go through this,” he was quoted as saying.
The young man failed to give the police any information as to how he first met the businessman or the deceased woman’s son, who is also in police custody.
Since the murder, speculation was rife that her killing was not related to a robbery, since the killer was caught on camera looking for some sort of document, as he left other valuable things behind.
The police were, however, monitoring the movements of the suspect, who was captured on Saturday wearing the same clothes he wore when he murdered Ganesh on August 1, and was recorded by surveillance cameras carrying out the brutal crime.
