Woman found dead in latrine

Oct 29, 2010 News

Police were last night questioning a canecutter from Patentia, West Bank Demerara, after his wife’s body was found in a latrine at the place they called home, by the seashore – a place called “Sidu” koker.
The victim, 45-year-old Disanti Dhaniram, called ‘Eva’, was found dead sometime around 18:30 hrs by her husband. While there was a gash on Dhaniram’s head, Kaieteur News understands that the victim is an epileptic and a heavy drinker, and police do not appear to suspect foul play.
The couple lived in a shack near the riverside.
The husband, Bridgemohan Surujlall, said that he left for work at around 04:30 hrs and that his wife was at home. He did not see her when he returned but never suspected that anything was amiss.
However, Lall said that after some hours had passed he became concerned and began to search for his wife.
He eventually found her body in the latrine. He raised an alarm and neighbours assisted him in hauling out the corpse.
Kaieteur News understands that from the position of Dhaniram’s body, it appeared as if she had been attempting to hold herself up.
Initial reports suggest that she may have suffered an epileptic fit and tumbled into the pit. It is believed that she struck her head on a drum at the bottom of the pit.
However, police sources said that there was a recent report against the man that he had beaten the woman but she declined to follow through with the complaint.
It was said that at that time the husband had beaten his wife with a hammer to the head and when she went to the hospital maggots had already begun to permeate the wound.
Neighbours have confirmed that the man was in the habit of abusing the woman.
The woman’s body was removed from the scene at around 22:00 hrs.
