Man who slit teen wife’s throat captured in Springlands
Captured: Ryan Singh
Police in ‘B’ Division have finally captured Ryan Singh, the man who allegedly slit the throat of his 17-yr-old common law wife, Rosanna Lakhpal, almost two weeks ago.
Divisional Head, Paul Williams said that Singh was captured at around 11:30 hrs yesterday at Springlands Upper Corentyne.
He was seeking refuge in an abandoned house when the ranks closed in on him. The suspect was taken to the Central Police Station. Charges are likely to be laid shortly.
Singh, 25, went on the run on July 29, after allegedly murdering Rosanna Lakhpal in the couple’s apartment at No.2 Village, East Canje.
The teen had reportedly eloped with Singh while she was a student at the Berbice Educational Institute.
The teen and Singh then returned to her mother’s house at East Canje.
It was here Singh allegedly killed her, two days after he was evicted from the home.
But Singh is also said to be wanted for a brutal attack on another young woman two years ago.
The victim was Aszeema Alli, who was repeatedly stabbed at a West Ruimveldt home on Valentine’s Day, 2015.
Alli’s relatives said that she and Ryan Singh had been involved in a relationship while she was a 14-year-old school girl.
A relative related that Alli was very secretive about her relationship with the man and they only learnt that he was in the habit of abusing her after the Valentine’s Day stabbing, which has left her with several scars and limited mobility in one of her hands.
On February 14, 2015, Alli and Singh got into a heated argument over someone she was texting on her mobile phone.
The incident reportedly occurred during a party at the suspect’s home, shortly after Singh had lured Alli into a room and tried to force himself on her.
He reportedly punched her to the face, and after she fell, drew a knife and began stabbing her to her neck, chin, face, back and other parts of the body.
Based on reports, Alli only escaped with her life because her brother-in-law intervened and shoved Singh off of her.
Relatives said that Aszeema Alli went into hiding after learning that her attacker had allegedly murdered Rosanna Lakhpal.
