Murder accused, Tony Henry, 26, the man who allegedly killed his mother-in-law, Jennifer Thomas, 49, during a fight at her home at Moleson Creek, Upper Corentyne on December 1, last, and then drank poison, slahed his Achilles tendon and wrist in an attempt to kill himself, has been discharged from the New Amsterdam Hospital and taken into police custody.
Henry, called ‘Black Boy’, was arrested and taken to the hospital, minutes after his mother-in-law was found dead in her house with multiple stab wounds.
Henry, the prime suspect, was found in his home nearby with wounds to his left ankle and left wrist and was suspected to have ingested a poisonous liquid in attempts to commit suicide.
The victim was found lying in a pool of blood. She had a deep wound to one of her legs and a hole in her neck which was stuffed with a piece of cloth.
A post mortem examination performed on the body by Dr Vivekanand Brijmohan at the Skeldon hospital revealed that the woman died from haemorrhage and shock due to an incise wound to the neck. Henry’s mother 50-year-old Chandraday Thakur, who lives at 141 Reef Section, Rose Hall Town had said that her son had three children with his wife, Janice Thomas’s daughter of the deceased and was deeply in love. “Too deep,” she had opined.
“She had stated that the two of them were together since Thomas was 14 years old. The woman had said that her son had a very stormy relationship with his in-laws.
“They would beat him up and do him all kinds of things. When they have problems, he would leave and come home by me, but after a while he would return to his wife. His wife father even threatened to shoot him.
The woman claimed that her son’s mother-in-law always had a problem with him and on numerous occasions she would chase him and tell him that she would find another man for her daughter.
“The daughter would sometimes join in and tell me son how she has another man and don’t want him.”
The woman recalled that at one time when her son was incarcerated his wife was pregnant.
