The mother
of three who was found dead on the
Kitty seawall on Saturday afternoon had left her home
in Meadow Brook after receiving a telephone call on
Friday night.
Unsolved murder
A sister told Stabroek
News yesterday that Patricia Charles, 26,
was in bed when she received the call at 8 pm and she
told the person that she would be ready by nine to go
out.
The sister said the cell phone, a handbag, and
jewellery Charles left the house with have not been
recovered. A post mortem examination is scheduled for
Wednesday to determine the cause of death. There is
apparently no clear evidence of foul play.
Contacted yesterday the Police Public Relations
Department said the investigation was continuing and
the police are asking anyone with information to come
forward.
Charles's sister
questioned why the police had not yet used the phone
company to find out who it was that had called the
home on Friday night. She said after not
seeing her sister get home by 4 am on Saturday, she
did try unsuccessfully several times to contact
Charles on the cell phone.
It wasn't until Saturday evening that a brother,
who went to see the body in a funeral home after
reading in the newspapers of the corpse found on the
seawall, told the sister what had happened. "And
I deh walking telling everybody my sister missing. But
I was waiting till nine o'clock to report it since the
police say is till 24 hours after," the sister
said.
Charles had been working as a
short wave radio operator in West Demerara for persons
who wanted to make contact with interior locations.
She died leaving three children ages 11, eight, and
seven years old.
