Police are investigating the murder of 86-year-old Anges Dilon who was found lying in a pool of blood at her Lot 32 North Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara house on Thursday.
The pensioner was found with suspected stab wounds to her left and right upper chest and suspected chop wounds to her right hand and right side face.
Police believe that she was murdered between 17:30hrs on Wednesday and midday on Thursday.
The elderly woman lived alone in the lower flat of a two-storey wooden house; the upper flat is occupied by the landlord.
She was last seen doing laundry at about 17:00hrs on Wednesday afternoon; the landlord told the police that after she did not see Dilon on Thursday morning, she called her cell phone several times but it went unanswered.
A neighbour was contacted and he pried open a window when he saw the victim lying motionless on her bed.
The police were contacted and the medical personnel from the Melanie Fire station pronounced the woman dead at the scene.
Dilon’s body is at the Memorial Gardens Funeral Home awaiting an autopsy.
