T&T Mother found hanging was beaten to death

An au­top­sy con­duct­ed on the body of 47 year-old Sherryann Roet, a Trinidadian mother of two, has re­vealed that she died from blunt-force trau­ma.

Roet’s semi-de­com­pos­ing body was found hanging from a tree in Carli Bay on Monday. Po­lice said her body showed signs of vi­o­lence, in­clud­ing in­juries to her fore­head, eye, un­der her left arm, nose bridge, and both hands and feet.

The killer at­tempt­ed to stage her death as a sui­cide, hop­ing to avoid sus­pi­cion. How­ev­er, an au­top­sy done at the Foren­sic Sci­ence Cen­tre yes­ter­day re­vealed she was beat­en to death be­fore be­ing hung from a tree.

Roet had been fac­ing a strained re­la­tion­ship in re­cent months.

Po­lice said they grew sus­pi­cious af­ter learn­ing that no miss­ing per­son’s re­port had been filed for the moth­er of two and revealed that homi­cide in­ves­ti­ga­tors are now search­ing for a Span­ish-speak­ing man with whom the victim had a close re­la­tion­ship.
