Chaguanas East MP Vandana Mohit has condemned any violence or other forms of abuse towards the elderly, following the mysterious death of a 74-year-old woman, Doodhani “Mary” Sooknanan, whose decomposing body was found in her Edinburgh 500 home on January 8.

“This government will not tolerate any type of elderly abuse. I do not know the details of this matter but my message is for everyone to work towards protecting our senior citizens,” she said at a UNC press conference on January 11.

She said as this particular matter is before the police, the ministry remains on standby to send out any representatives to contact remaining family members.
