Murdered schoolgirl’s funeral today

Among those expected to attend the funeral is Member of Parliament for the area Maxie Cuffie.

Police sources said yesterday they are still reviewing camera footage hoping to get clues that could lead to a breakthrough. Officers from the Police Cyber-Crime Unite are assisting investigators in the probe.

Ramkissoon, a Fourth Form student of the North Eastern College, Sangre Grande reportedly missed her school bus last Friday and is believed to have sought public transportation from a PH (private hire) driver.

When she failed to return home last week Friday, relatives made a report at the San Raphael police station and it was then that they were told a person fitting Ramkissoon’s description had been found in bushes at Balata Trace, Talparo.

Relatives later identified Ramkissoon’s body and an autopsy revealed that she was strangled.
