Female District Constable Slain
A masked gunman brutally murdered a female district constable inside her house in Kingsvale, Hanover just after midnight yesterday. He then tried to rape her 19-year-old daughter before fleeing with the district constable’s service revolver and handbag.
The Constabulary Communication Network (CCN) reported that about 12:30 am, the masked man broke into 39-year-old Venet Guthrie’s house through a window, and held her up at gunpoint. The CCN said “the gunman came across her police identification card and loaded service revolver while searching the room, and commented on her being a police officer. He then shot her several times, killing her on the spot, and escaped with her handbag and service revolver”.
The masked gunman reportedly told the police woman’s daughter: “Look, yu si seh mi a real killer,” before he marched her outside at gunpoint and demanded to have sexual intercourse with her. The girl’s cousin, however, told the masked gunman that she was menstruating. He then ordered her to “run away”.
Investigators reported that they had no leads, and were yet to establish a motive for the brutal killing.
