FORMER Government Minister Lincoln Myers has written Commissioner of Police (CoP) Trevor Paul regarding the murder of his housekeeper/manager Ann Dhanraj.
Dhanraj of Biche was murdered at Myers’ 7 ¾ Mile Post, Main Road, Gran Couva, home 11 years ago on July 16.
She was 30 years old.

Myers wrote: “So far, this crime remains unsolved.

“And, assurances given to me over the years that this file is still open, rings increasingly hollow as time passes since there is no evidence of any active investigation being conducted.”

The Late
Ann Dhanraj

Dhanraj’s throat was slit and her body dragged some half of a mile into the bushes at Myers’ property.

The skull of a small dog that was with Dhanraj was split. Myers described Dhanraj as a very bright person.

He said: “My intention was to see her go back to school and become educated.“It did not happen due to my paralysis and her murder.”

Myers said Dhanraj was a nice person, who cared for him during his paralysis. He said the police investigation into the murder lost vigour and rigour.

“A much better job could have been done.“They did not treat the murder seriously that is the reason we are having such a high level of homicides now,” Myers told TnT Mirror.

He continued in his letter to the CoP: “When I recommended the setting up of a Cold Crime Unit back in November 2005, it was with the hope that such a unit would inspire public confidence in the Police Service and undermine the easy confidence of killers who believe that they can continue their criminal enterprise with impunity and yet be able to evade the reach of the law.

“Well, since Ann Dhanraj we have had Akiel Chambers and Vijay Persad to name just two.

“The number of murders and those unsolved, remains quite staggering.“The crime has become so commonplace that it is robbing the living of their humanity.

“Nonetheless, I will persist in raising the case of Ann Dhanraj with you, as I did with your predecessors, and unfortunately may have to do with your successors.

“I raise her case both in its own right and as a metaphor for all those unsolved cases in which the murderers are yet to be brought to justice.”
