Man who killed 17-year-old wife likely to be charged for wounding ex-lover
Police have taken a statement from 22-year-old Aszeema Khan who was allegedly stabbed multiple times by Ryan Singh, the man accused of killing his17-year-old common-law wife two weeks ago.
Kaieteur News was informed that once there is enough evidence, Singh who was captured last week Wednesday in Suriname could be charged for the brutal 2015 attack, which has left the victim badly scared.
He is also expected to be charged with the murder of his common-law wife, Rosanna Lakhpal.
Khan almost died on Valentine’s Day in 2015, after she was allegedly attacked by Singh, who is presently in police custody for killing Lakhpal on July 29 at No.2 Village East, Canje Berbice.
Alli’s relatives said that she and Singh, who is said to be in his late twenties, had been involved in a relationship while she was a 14-year-old school girl. They never lived together.
A relative related that Alli was very secretive about her relationship with the older 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.
MURDERED: Rosanna Lakhpal
Brutally stabbed: Aszeema Alli
Ryan Singh
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 his home, shortly after Singh had allegedly lured Alli into a room and tried to force himself on her.
Alli reportedly told her lover that she was seeing someone else. 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 survived because her brother-in-law intervened.
She has been reportedly living in fear since the ordeal and has been contacted by Singh on more than one occasion for the year.
The other victim, Rosanna Lakhpal, 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, Berbice. It was here Singh’s allegedly killed her, two days after he was evicted from the home.
Her body, with throat slit, was found covered with sheets in the hall of the apartment she and the unemployed man lived. The teenager worked as a baby sitter.
The couple was said to be involved in frequent fights and arguments over Singh’s drug habit and unemployment.
