Just hours after leaving her home, the body of a mother of three was discovered on Saturday evening in Craig on the East Bank of Demerara (EBD).
Dead is 24-year-old Ruthann Ward of Concrete Strip, Supply, EBD.
Speaking with this publication on Sunday, the woman’s brother, Jamal Ward, recounted that on Saturday morning at around 01:00h, they were all in bed when his sister abruptly got up and left the house in a frantic state.
“She jumped up from her bed and she just run out of the house. When she run out everybody in the house wake up and we mother tell my next brother to run behind she. But my brother was tired and he tell my mother he can’t run behind she,” the man said.
Jamal went on to say that, the following morning, they anxiously awaited Ruthann’s return, but she never returned.
“Around 9 o’clock, a man from Crane call me and say that me sister dead and that they just find she body at the corner of the road in Craig. Is a set of different things I hearing because one time they say they find she at the corner of the road and the next thing they say they find she in a trench in Craig,” Jamal said.
Ruthann’s brother expressed his confusion about the circumstances surrounding her death, as she had no issues with anyone in the house.
“She does be in here and keep to herself and she would just say when she hungry. Plus, she always have some issue with her boyfriend.”
“She hardly even sleep home she always sleeping out… her children not living with her. One of them living with her father, the other one in Kaneville with some one of the boy [her partner] family and the one in Grove somewhere we don’t even know… two of them supposed to start school on Monday and the other one too small to go to school,” he said.
Police have since launched an investigation.
