Another man kills wife
The dead woman Mohanranie Udaray and her reputed husband
A woman was brutally killed, allegedly by her husband. Dead is Mohanranie Udaray, called ‘Sherry’, 28, a mother of one of lot 17 Grant 1780 Crabwood Creek, Corentyne, Berbice.
The woman was found with a wound to her neck after she was allegedly involved in an argument with her reputed husband. She was found lying in a pool of blood in an unconscious state.
It is understood that the woman who is a housewife, hailed from Black Bush Polder and was living with the 43-year-old man said to be a boat captain on one of the small boats that ply the Corentyne River to Suriname.
According to reports, the couple lived in the upper flat of a two-storey house. The woman has been the victim of constant abuse. The couple was heard in a usual argument around 17:30 hrs. Neighbours did not pay much attention since it was a regular occurrence. After a while the argument stopped and still no one paid any mind.
Landlord Zamalindeen Khan, who resides in the bottom flat of the house, stated that he was not at home at the time of the incident. He returned home around 19:00 hrs and the place was quiet so he decided to watch television. His curiosity was aroused when he noticed something dripping from the floor above. Upon closer inspection he realized it was blood.
He immediately alerted a neighbour and summoned the police who responded immediately. On their arrival they went into the upper flat where the woman was found lying with her face down in a pool of blood and a gaping wound to her neck.
It is understood that the woman went to Georgetown on Thursday to conduct some business for her daughter. It is believed it was that visit that led to the argument. On her return, the argument erupted.
The man who usually portrayed jealous tendencies believed that woman was having an affair and would usually accuse her. He would even stop her from talking to the neighbours.
If she was caught talking to anyone she would be the victim of constant harassment. It is understood that the woman was injured before in the region of her abdomen and had undergone surgery. Due to the threats and her love for the man the woman would usually decline to press charges. On the occasion when she was injured she had claimed that thieves had invaded the house.
Investigators are on the hunt for the perpetrator who is believed to have fled the country. It is understood that the man has relatives in Holland.
A post mortem examination performed on the woman’s body on Friday by Dr. Vivekanand Bridgemohan at the Skeldon Hospital showed that she died from asphyxiation, lack of oxygen due to blood in her lungs and the stab wound to the neck.
Udaray leaves to mourn her only child, a seven-year-old daughter, Riya, her parents, other siblings and many relatives.
Investigations are continuing.
