Georgetown: The 26-year-old mother who allegedly killed her 3-year-old son on August 25, 2018 was on Wednesday morning remanded to prison after being charged for murder at the Cove and John Magistrate’s Court.

Brenda Ferrieria, a house wife of Foulis, Enmore, East Coast Demerara was not allowed to plead to the indictable charge when it was read to her by Magistrate Peter Hughes.

She  was ordered to proceed on psychiatric evaluation and was remanded to prison until September 12, 2018.

The housewife is accused of stabbing her three year old son, Ramdeo Ferreira to death.

He was found in a bloodied state on a bed in the family’s wooden shack at their Foulis, Enmore, East Coast Demerara (ECD) home.

Neighbours said the suspect, who was armed with a knife, was seen chasing Ramdeo in the yard.

Minutes later, ranks attached to the Enmore Police Outpost responded to a report that she stabbed the toddler.

The mother of two had related that she had a dream that she was going to die and she didn’t want to leave Ramdeo behind since he was her favourite child.
