A porter who allegedly submerged his reputed wife in a gutter last May was on Thursday committed to stand trial in the High Court in Georgetown, for the murder.
Thirty-eight-year-old Daniel Watson, of Herstelling, East Bank Demerara, is accused of the capital offence.
It is alleged that on May 21, last, at Herstelling New Scheme, East Bank Demerara, Watson murdered Lowtie Atwaroo also known as Mona
At the conclusion of the Preliminary Inquiry (PI) on Thursday, Senior Magistrate Fabayo Azore ruled that there was sufficient evidence against Watson for him to stand trial before a judge and jury.
Watson will go on trial at the next practicable sitting of the Demerara Assizes.
According to information, Atwaroo was involved in an abusive relationship with
Watson, and had ended the relationship some eight weeks before she was killed.
It was reported that on May 21, last, Atwaroo went to reconcile with Watson, but the two got into a heated argument.
After Atwaroo failed to return home, her relatives went in search of her and they were told by neighbours that they saw her arguing with the accused on the road.
A search was conducted for Atwaroo and her lifeless body was found in a drain near the roadside.
The matter was reported and the accused was arrested and charged for the offence.
