Quick work by the police led to the capture of a man who is alleged to have killed his wife and her overseas-based lover in a brutal assault that rocked the Corentyne yesterday.

Parbatie Vijrauren, 37, called ‘Nickey’, a mother of two of Lot 1B Kilcoy, Corentyne, Berbice, and Ramdat Persaud, called ‘Buddy’, 56, a father of two of 62 Tain Village Corentyne, Berbice and of the USA were allegedly chopped to death.
The two were found dead in Persaud’s apartment around 05:00 hours with chop wounds about their bodies.
Police had initially believed that the killings were a murder/suicide but they later received information that led them to conclude that they were dealing with a double murder.
The initial police press release had given the woman’s name as Parbatie Vyraum, 34. It stated that at about 05:10 hours on Wednesday, the bodies of the woman and her reputed husband Ramdat Persaud, 56 were found in their home at Tain, Corentyne, Berbice.
“Parbatie Vyraum was found lying on a bed with stab wounds to the body, while Ramdat Persaud was found on the floor. Based on initial investigations, the Police are working on a theory of suspected murder/suicide, and are awaiting the results of the PME,” the statement said.
A few hours later, the police reported that “in relation to the deaths of Parbatie Vyraum and Ramdat Persaud of Tain, Corentyne, Berbice, be informed that the investigations are now centered on a double murder.”
According to information, Persaud, who lived overseas, has been in Guyana for over seven months, leaving

his wife and children in the USA. While here, he struck up a relationship with Vijrauren, after she returned home from Trinidad with her husband.
The relationship grew stronger despite the protestation of Vijrauren’s husband.
Persaud was determined not to leave his new lover and eventually agreed to share her with her husband.
While the woman’s husband appeared to agree to the arrangement, relatives believe that he was actually hatching a sinister plan.
The trio became friends and the woman and her new lover would alternate their times at their different residences.
The woman’s husband even began to work with the man and would cook and help out around the house at times.
However according to sources the woman had promised her husband that she would break up with the man, but she kept on seeing, causing her husband’s anger to grow stronger.
There are reports that Vijrauren’s husband previously attempted to kill Persaud, lashing him in his head with a blunt object.
The attack resulted in Persaud being hospitalized with a fractured skull, which prevented him from travelling back to United States of America.
Persaud was expected to return to America on June 22, June for a family wedding.
The woman’s husband subsequently fled to Suriname where he remained to avoid arrest.
The coast was now clear for Persaud and Vijrauren to enjoy their affair in peace.  But it was not for long.
The woman’s jealous husband eventually slipped back into Guyana and began trailing the couple, looking for the opportunity to end the affair once and for all.
He followed them to Kilcoy where they spent most of the day yesterday before moving to Persaud’s house at Tain during the evening.
A relative of Persaud, who lives in the bottom flat of his house, made the shocking discovery early yesterday morning.
He said that he went to the back of the yard and noticed a few grill bars were removed from a window that was open.
He said that he then ventured upstairs to inform Persaud. But he got the shock of his life when he knocked on the door it swung open, revealing a grisly site.
He said that when he pushed his head into the apartment he was horrified to see the entire place splattered in blood and the two lifeless and bloodied bodies. He alerted neighbours and the police were subsequently contacted and responded promptly.
Acting on information, the police went in search of Vijrauren’s husband who was working on a construction site a few villages away.
He initially denied knowledge of the brutal killing but under intense interrogation, he began trembling and buckled.
According to a source, who is a part of the investigating team, the man claimed that after following his wife and her lover to Persaud’s house late Tuesday afternoon, he hid in the yard for several hours, waiting for the right time to strike.
He claimed that he even heard his wife and her US-based lover arguing over another female with whom Persaud was friendly.
The source said that the suspect waited until about midnight when the couple turned off the lights in the apartment, and then made his way in.
He waited three more hours until he was certain that they were asleep before making his move.
The man claimed that he first chopped his wife before turning the cutlass he had on her lover, brutally hacking him to death. He then returned to his wife and finished her off.
Post mortem examinations conducted on the bodies by Pathologist Dr. Vivikanand Brijmohan yesterday confirmed that they both died from shock and hemorrhage due to incised wounds.
