She was raped and robbed of $6,000. The naked body of the woman who lived alone was found at her home around 05:30 hrs yesterday, by her son Deonarine Ramdeo. Deonarine Ramdeo stated that his mother wanted to live alone. She refused to live with her children so the family built a house in the same yard for her. The man stated he was alerted by his wife that something did not seem right at his mother’s house. He immediately ventured over to the one-flat wooden house and noticed that six louver panes from one of the windows were missing. He ventured around the house and saw two wooden windows open. Becoming anxious he peeped through one of the windows and to his horror and disbelief he saw his mother’s naked body sprawled in the house. The man immediately raised an alarm. The woman’s daughter, Vinmattie Reddi, in tears lamented the fact that her mother wanted to live alone even though they had offered for her to live with one of them. To please their mother they decided to build the one-flat wooden house for her next to her son. When the woman was found her feet were in the air. She had bruises on her neck and
