Georgetown: Two teenage girls helped three of their male friends to beat, bind and strangle 75-year-old retired professor, Pairadeau Mars, at his Lot 395 Bissessar Street, Prashad Nagar home Thursday night.
Police made the discovery after a six-member gang, who reside in Sophia were captured the same night.
The detectives have recovered several items that the young killers had carted off from their victim’s home.
The suspects have reportedly admitted to the crime—five of the youths reportedly murdered the man while the sixth was the taxi driver. He was found with some of the stolen items in his possession. The girls are aged 15 and 17 while the eldest of the males is 18. Police are likely to find fingerprints and other forensic evidence at the crime scene since the youths allegedly ate and consumed beverages in their victim’s house. They may also garner further evidence from CCTV cameras in the area.
One of the girls had reportedly lived a few houses from Mars but has since moved. She allegedly frequented the area and would occasionally stop at the remigrant’s home to beg for money.
The bound body of Mars, who had lectured at a Michigan, USA University, was discovered by his wife around 19:00 hrs last night after she returned home from Linden.
According to reports, the victim’s wife, Joan Mars, had travelled to Linden Thursday and last communicated with her husband at around 14:00 hrs. She reportedly called at around 16:00 hrs and got no response.
She reportedly arrived at around 19.00 hrs and immediately realised that something was amiss, since the front door was ajar. Upon entering, she saw her husband’s bound body on the study floor.
Because the body was still warm, the woman reportedly believed that Mr. Mars was still alive, and, with assistance from neighbours, rushed him to the St. Joseph Mercy Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The body was later taken to the Lyken Funeral Home.Although the police force has reported a 19% drop in serious crimes, the country has already seen over 50 murders for this year.
