Blood stains led to daughter, son-in-law confessing to murder of Jenny Mohamed

The missing person case of 46-year-old Jenny Mohamed, also known as “Baby,” has taken a tragic turn, as her daughter and son-in-law have confessed to brutally murdering her at her Non-Pariel home on June 10, 2025.

Police confirmed that while in custody on June 19, the deceased woman’s 25-year-old daughter admitted during interrogation that she and her 28-year-old common-law husband stabbed and strangled Mohamed with a rope during a domestic dispute. The body was then wrapped in a garbage bag and tarpaulin and dumped in a trench along Eccles New Road, East Bank Demerara.

The confession led investigators to the scene, where Mohamed’s decomposed body was discovered bearing multiple stab wounds and a rope tied around the neck. The recovery operation was conducted under video and audio recording, and the site was processed and documented.

The chilling admission came days after Mohamed was reported missing on June 12, 2025, at around 11:58 hrs. She had last been seen at her Lot 368, Section ‘D’, Non-Pariel residence at approximately 06:15 hrs on June 10 by her husband, Rasheed Mohamed.

According to police, initial investigations began after ranks from the Vigilance Police Station conducted a search of the premises on June 13, but found no disturbed soil and received no helpful information from nearby residents. However, Mohamed’s sister told investigators that she had not heard from her sibling since June 10, which was unusual, given their daily communication.

The sister also learned from Rasheed that Mohamed had an argument with her daughter on the night of June 9, during which she reportedly told the daughter to move out. Rasheed claimed he left for work the following morning, leaving Mohamed at home with their daughter and her partner.

Acting on fresh information, police returned to the residence on June 16 and observed suspected bloodstains on the couch, walls, and floor of the hall. Additional stains were found in a bedroom and the kitchen, and though attempts were made to clean them, human blood field tests returned positive results. The home was secured for forensic examination, and Rasheed Mohamed was taken into custody.

The following day, on June 17, police carried out a cordon and search operation in the district and arrested the daughter and her common-law husband. A forensic team that same day confirmed that multiple areas in the house tested positive for human blood. A suspicious handwritten note, allegedly from Mohamed, was also found. Investigators noted evidence of attempted clean-up, and recovered blood-stained upholstery, swabs, and hair strands from a vehicle linked to the suspects.

Inconsistencies in the suspects’ accounts and supporting statements from relatives pointed strongly to foul play. After the daughter confessed and led police to the dumping site, her common-law husband also admitted to his role in the murder and disposal of the body during a subsequent confrontation.

What began as a missing person investigation has now evolved into a confirmed murder case. All three suspects—including Jenny Mohamed’s husband—remain in custody as police continue their investigations. A file is being compiled for legal advice.
