Suresh Ganesh aka “Battery” and “Tarzan”, 27, appeared before Magistrate Clive Nurse at the Vreed-en-Hoop Magistrate’s Court yesterday.
He was remanded for the murder of his reputed wife and their two–year–old son at their Lot 57, Best Village, West Coast Demerara (WCD) home on July 1. His next court appearance is slated for August 29.
The unrepresented man who was dressed in orange looked despondent. He was not required to plead to the two counts of murder which alleged that he murdered 34-year-old Vanessa Persaud and their two-year-old son, Joel Ganesh.
Emotions ran high in the court as Vanessa Persaud’s mother shouted when Ganesh was being escorted out of the courtroom, “Ya is a murderer and a lowlife junkie…. My daughter was murdered all because of love.
“She kept telling me ‘mommy this boy need help and I’m going to help him’ and this is what she got in return.”
Ganesh reportedly went into a drug-fuelled craze and hacked his reputed wife and child to death after hearing rumors of Persaud having an affair with a man who reportedly sells marijuana.
The man then reportedly turned his cutlass on his mother, Jennifer Monplaisir and chopped her repeatedly almost severing her right hand.
The crazed man then made his way to Pouderoyen where he reportedly attacked a resident and was shot by the police whilst resisting arrest.
