Homi­cide of­fi­cers are con­tin­u­ing their probe in­to the mur­der of Waller­field res­i­dent Aman­da West, who was killed on Tues­day night af­ter gun­men chased her from her house in­to an­oth­er.

West lived at Cha­co­nia Dri­ve, Ja­cob Hill, Waller­field.

Po­lice said at around 8 pm West was at her home along with two oth­er peo­ple, when they were ap­proached by two men armed with guns.

West and her two friends be­came fear­ful for their lives and ran out of the house. The gun­men pur­sued them and fired sev­er­al shots at them.

Po­lice of­fi­cers were told that West then ran in­to a house on Or­chid Dri­ve Waller­field where she was pur­sued by the gun­men who fired sev­er­al shots at her. She died on the scene.

The gun­men then es­caped on foot.

Supt Mon­trichard and In­sp Cal­len­der vis­it­ed the scene.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors said West was known to them as she was said to be linked to sev­er­al armed rob­beries and was be­lieved to be the hold­er of an il­le­gal firearm.

Po­lice said she was al­so a sus­pect in the re­cent rob­bery against one of her own rel­a­tives, whose pen­sion mon­ey was stolen.

Of­fi­cers said oth­er fam­i­ly mem­bers feared West and were scared to pur­sue the mat­ter be­cause of the threats she al­leged­ly made against them.

Mean­while, in an un­re­lat­ed mat­ter a 28-year-old woman was kid­napped and a red Lancer mo­tor­car is be­ing de­mand­ed in ex­change for her safe re­lease.

Ac­cord­ing to a po­lice re­port, the vic­tim Ri­ta Suli­ta Singh, 28, of Spring Val­ley Road, Mt Dor Champ Fleurs was in the vicin­i­ty of Tool Time Hard­ware lo­cat­ed at Sama­roo Road, San Juan around 3 pm Tues­day with her sis­ter-in-law when a sil­ver Nis­san Ti­i­da reg­is­tra­tion PDB 6491 with three men, drove by and grabbed Singh forc­ing her in­to the car.

The men made a quick ex­it in the car along with Singh.

Singh was last seen clad in a white vest and white skirt jumper with pink slip­pers.

The sis­ter-in-law re­port­ed to the po­lice that half an hour lat­er she re­ceived sev­er­al calls from a blocked num­ber. The caller on the oth­er end in­formed her to make arrange­ments to drop off a red Lancer mo­tor car reg­is­tra­tion PBA 6844 in ex­change for Singh’s re­lease.

The San Juan CID and An­ti Kid­nap­ping units were in­formed and in­ves­ti­ga­tions are con­tin­u­ing.
