Police are investigating the murder of 45-year-old Sonia Wilson, whose bloodied body was discovered on the verandah of her Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo home on Monday morning.
According to police, Wilson, a cook of Block 8, Tuschen, was found lying motionless in a pool of blood at about 11:30 a.m. on August 10, 2026.
Ranks who responded to the scene examined Wilson’s body and observed several wounds. A knife was also found at the scene and taken into police custody.
Wilson was subsequently taken to the De Kinderen Regional Hospital, where she was pronounced dead on arrival by a doctor.
Her body was later escorted to Ezekiel Funeral Home, where it is awaiting a post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death.
The investigation has since taken on added concern following information shared by Wilson’s sister, Charlie Telemano, who told Kiskadee Watch that Wilson had been experiencing problems in her relationship with her husband.
Telemano said the couple had been separated and that Wilson had been trying to move on with her life. She further alleged that Wilson had received a threatening text message from her estranged husband prior to her death.
Telemano said Wilson lived alone at the Tuschen residence, where she had reportedly been living for more than 20 years.
She told Kiskadee Watch that the last time she spoke with her sister was on Saturday.
Wilson was the mother of one daughter, 27, who did not live with her.
Telemano also confirmed that Wilson had sustained stab wounds to her heart and arms
Wilson’s estranged husband is now a suspect in the matter, Telemano confirmed to Kiskadee Watch.
Police said CCTV cameras were observed in the area and will be reviewed as investigators work to piece together Wilson’s final movements and determine what led to her death.
The investigation remains ongoing.
