In her killer’s mind, Salma Chadee was unfaithful and deserved to die.
Chadee, 19, was shot dead last Saturday at her home in Caroni.
Eight months before, her killer made a similar accusation against his first victim, Sherlene Mahangoo-Charles whom he also shot dead in her home in Tarodale.
Relatives of both women saw no sign the man, whom it is said loved them, would end their lives without remorse.
So jealous was the man, that he believed his latest victim used her family to go out with her so she could meet someone else. He carefully planned her death.
He went to Chadee’s home armed with a gun and during a quarrel over her alleged infidelity shot her.
With his lower legs, broken in an accident, in casts the killer crawled down the steps of Chadee’s two-storey home and had an accomplice lift him over a wall, since the gate was locked, and placed him in a waiting car where he was taken into hiding.
The police continued their search for the suspect and his accomplice over the past days, but have been unsuccessful.
Before their relationship, Chadee worked in a bar and was well liked because of her friendly, outgoing nature. Some patrons said she had “rich, well-known friends” and was “close to influential people” and at times she had large sums of money.
But she left the bar for unknown reasons and became involved with the suspect last April. She had a young son, now 11-months-old, from a previous relationship.
He moved in with her at the family home on Chadee Street, Caroni. It was only last month that the man got into a motorbike accident and broke his legs. A relative helped her to take the man to a nursing home in St Augustine, and Chadee used a credit card to pay for his medical treatment.
Arrangements were also made for a doctor and nurse to provide private care at their home.
While he was recovering, the man became suspicious of Chadee whenever she went out on errands or with friends. He began threatening her, sources said.
“He was extremely jealous of Salma and we now know that he planned to kill her, because of how this thing happened and the car that was waiting to take him away,” a source told Sunday Newsday.
But did Chadee know this man was a killer?
Head of the North Eastern Division Task Force Inspector Roger Alexander has suggested so, accusing Chadee’s relatives of harbouring the criminal.
He claims on the night of Chadee’s murder, attempts were made to conceal the crime by relatives who first insisted it was robbery gone wrong, but after investigations the truth was revealed.
“They knew who this man was, but they preferred to keep it quiet, and now that Salma is dead their story keeps changing all the time, but this is a lesson for all families in this country to understand that when you harbour a criminal in your home that criminal would one day turn on you and like the old people continue to say, who don’t hear will have to feel,” he warned.
“I am again begging members of the public to desist from harbouring criminals at your home, for even though they may be providing quick cash and supporting your home financially out of ill gotten means, they will one day also turn on you, so who don’t want to hear may end up like Salma.”
