The
man who is now a person of interest in the murders of teenaged mother
Salma Chadee and Sherlene Mahangoo-Charles yesterday was described as a
quiet, fun-loving man who never displayed any violent tendencies, by
Chadee’s mother Waheida Khan-Chadee.
According to police, the man is wanted for questioning in connection with the killing of his estranged wife, Mahangoo-Charles, who was shot multiple times on May 8 last year. The man, who goes by the alias “Goat”, is still on the run and has been deemed as the Central Division’s most wanted man by the divisional head Supt Johnny Abraham. It is alleged following an argument on Saturday night the man shot Chadee twice in the chest and escaped.
Khan-Chadee spoke to the T&T Guardian yesterday at her Chadee Street, La Paille Village, Caroni, home. She said the man was respectful to the family and at no time were they ever suspicious of him. She dispelled reports by the police that the villagers as well as the family knew the man was wanted by them.
“How would we have known that he was wanted by the police? We was not suspecting anything. We used to look at Crime Watch and Beyond the Tape and I never see anything about him. Who suspecting anything if he out in the public? It’s not like his picture was posted all about,” Khan-Chadee said.
She added: “Before he broke the foot he was walking around normal, going to the bar all over the place like normal. What was left for me to do? I could not have dreamt he was so. They never called no names when they said he was living with a woman in Caroni so how I was to know. He told us he was Joe Mohammed. Only when I was in that station that the police told me who he was and he did so and so.”
The man, following an accident in November last year broke both of his legs and uses a wheelchair to get around. His legs from just beneath the knees to the toes are in a cast. “If he had gotten in an accident how he reach in the hospital? Why didn’t the police arrest him when he got in the accident? So if police didn’t know who he was, how will I know who he is?” Khan-Chadee questioned.
Asked about her interactions with the man Khan-Chadee said: “He was so pleasant and quiet, he only started to stay here when his legs were broken. He was doing good. We didn’t have a problem, not until that day. He never acted violently. “I don’t know if he thought he had a future or wanted a future with my daughter. He used to sleep on my couch. I think my daughter felt sorry for him.”
She said the man she knew as Joe Mohammed used to lime with her daughter and other mutual friends at various bars in the area. When asked what might have triggered him, Khan-Chadee said she was not sure. “I don’t know what trip him off. Maybe she tell him she can’t take care of him anymore. He was getting possessive of her. She couldn’t go out with whoever she wanted and he didn’t like that.
He should have said he don’t want to stay here no more and get up and go but don’t shoot my daughter. She didn’t do him anything wrong” she said. Khan-Chadee said she was standing next to her daughter and holding her grandson Noah, Salma’s 11-month-old, when the shooting took place. She said her daughter was shot twice in the chest.
