Nikita Ramischand

 

The 18-year-old daughter of Port-of-Spain lawyer, Odai Ramischand, was stabbed to death Wednesday night.
Police said Nikita Ramischand was stabbed six times in the neck and abdomen. Her body was found by her parents and siblings at the family’s home, Maracas Royal Road, St Joseph, around 8.30 pm. Nikita was an accounts student at the School of Business and Computer Science (SBCS), Champs Fleurs. She also assisted her mother in the family’s beauty salon.  Homicide detectives believe she was stabbed by a jilted lover. Up to late yesterday police were looking for a suspect, also 18.
 
 
Senior officers believed the suspect might attempt to leave the country as he had a ticket booked to Guyana. They also said her relationship with the suspect had been kept a secret. Her brother, Sid, who spoke in an interview at the Forensic Science Centre, St James, yesterday described his sister as a girl who had “a promising future and was brilliant.” He said she met someone who took her life because she spurned his love and an offer of marriage. Inspector Ramnaresh Seecharan, acting Insp Lawrence, Sgt Samuel, Cpl Jones and Modeste and PC Seville were among the officers who went to the scene.
