Investigation are ongoing in the death of a 22-year-old U.S. – Guyanese woman who perished when the 2000 BMW in which she was travelling burst into flames in Queens, New York, last Saturday.
Recent reports say that the car in which the Queens resident was discovered burnt belonged to a man in Queensbury, 180 miles north of Queens.
The burning car was found under elevated train tracks in Queens early Saturday morning.
Omadevi Saran, called Annie, an office assistant of California, United States, had reportedly left home to do some business before the tragedy occurred.
Reports also indicate that just after 04:00hrs Saturday Oct 9, the NYPD and FDNY responded to a call of a vehicle on fire at the corner of Jamaica Ave and 130th Street. After putting out the blaze, the officers discovered Saran’s body in the rear seat of her vehicle.
Investigators say they are now probing a possible homicide, because Saran’s body was found in the back seat of her 2000 BMW, where emergency medical technicians pronounced her dead at the scene. The investigation into the cause of death is ongoing
This newspaper was told that the dead woman, married to a Trinidadian who works in the U.S. military, was four and one- half months pregnant.
In Guyana, the distraught father, Rajendra Megbarran, told this newspaper that his wife Dhanmattie Persaud, who is also in the U.S., called him Friday to say that their daughter had left the house saying that she was going to do some business, but had failed to return.
“My wife call and say that how Annie gone and she not home,” Megbarran said.
The next day, Saturday, he said he received another call from his wife, saying that his daughter had been burnt to death in her vehicle.
This newspaper was told that she had left to collect money from a bank, and was conducting transactions to purchase a house. It is believed that she was robbed before being set afire.
This newspaper understands also that a few months ago, the windows of Saran’s car were smashed by unknown persons.
Her relatives say they were unaware of any problems that she might have had with anyone. Police in New York were still investigating that matter.
Saran’s father says that his wife left Guyana in 2005, and his daughter went the following year, along with her brother.
Saran had been married for two years, and was furthering her studies while working at a construction company.
