The victim, who is of East Indian ancestry, was found at around 09:00 hrs on Back Street, Harlem, which is flanked by rice-fields.

Police said that her body bore several stab wounds. A police release said that the slain woman, estimated to be between 25 to 30 years of age, is fair in complexion, about five feet six inches tall, medium built and with long black hair.
The victim was clad in a pair of blue three-quarter pants, white sleeveless top, blue and white brassiere and a pair of brown slippers. (What about her underwear (draws)??
Kaieteur News understands that the driver, who works with a city taxi service, was taken into custody after he turned up at a police station to report that he was the victim of a carjacking in the same community where the body was found.
