Murderous canecutter still on the run
Police are on the hunt for a cane cutter, who on Thursday beat, stabbed and strangled his wife to death in a trench at Zeelugt, East Bank Essequibo (EBE). He had reportedly found out that she had been unfaithful to him.
Dead: Bibi Zabida Khan
Late Thursday, the body of 41-year-old Bibi Zabida Khan, a mother of three of Seaview, Stewartville, EBE, was found submerged in a trench about four villages from where she and her husband of 11 years lived.
Eyewitnesses told her relatives that they saw a man beating a woman on a road at Zeelugt and when they ran to help, he pushed her in a trench and jumped behind her. He reportedly strangled her in the water and escaped.
Neighbours believed that the police will find the body of Randolph Williams soon since he repeatedly told them that he would kill his wife and then kill himself if he ever caught her with a man.
When this publication visited the woman’s home, neighbours said that the woman might have been killed after her partner found out that she was unfaithful to him for several years.
According to one neighbour, “For years now, this woman cheating on him and all the neighbours know but like he never knows. Only last month he confirmed she was seeing someone.”
Kaieteur News was told that a little before Christmas, Williams was informed by a neighbour that his wife was having an affair with someone. He was also informed that his wife had a cellular phone which she used to communicate with the individual.
“Like when he left and go to work, she does use this phone and make plans with this man and whenever he (husband) come home back in the afternoon, she does hide it so one day he lied and tell her he going to work but he went hiding in the fowl pen at the bottom of the house,” the neighbour related.
Wanted: Randolph Williams
She added, “She thought that he gone to work and she called the sweet man and her husband was in the pen downstairs listening to the entire conversation and then he walk behind her and touch her on her shoulders and collected the phone.”
Kaieteur News was told that Khan was beaten and thrown out of the house by her partner. “She mek he get lock up and then the matter went to the Probation Officer and then the two of them make up back and she move in back with he.”
All this happened last December.
“They were back to normal and living really good and loving until two days ago when we heard a big cuss out. They were cussing about some phone card so I don’t know if he found a phone card in the house and think she was still talking to the man or what,” another neighbour related.
The neighbours said that on Thursday morning, everything seemed normal between the couple since they were seen kissing on their verandah.
A little later, they were seen walking out of the village holding hands but never returned. It is believed that it was then when the mother of three was lured to her death.
This newspaper was told that people saw a man beating a woman in Zeelugt but when they ran to offer assistance, he jumped in a trench with her and strangled her in the trench after which he escaped in a bushy area.
The couple’s neighbours yesterday said that they are convinced Williams will kill himself since he reportedly told one of his neighbours last month when he found his wife with a phone, that he will kill her and then kill himself.
The couple had no children together. “They had a son but he de fall down the step and died years now.”
Investigations are still ongoing.
