…police launch manhunt for suspect
A 27 year-old relationship ended brutally on Tuesday evening last when Bibi Shameena Deen, 43,
also known as ‘Sharmila’ of Canefield Canje Berbice, was brutally stabbed and beaten to death by her lover.
The man, Ramdhanie ‘Prak’ Persaud, 46, a US Citizen has since fled the area and is on the run.
The couple’s teenage son, Ravendra ‘Richie’ Persaud was in the 1071 New Area, Canefield home, when the incident occurred at about 23:00hrs and tried to respond to the cries of help from his mother as she called out from her bedroom.
According to the woman’s brother-in-law, Santkumar Depaul, of Lot 40 West Reliance Settlement, Canje, he received a telephone call from Ravendra “that his father bored his mother….please come quick!
“I called the rest of the family and together with my wife (the woman’s sister) and daughter and his (the suspect’s) other son, Devendra ‘Ryan’ Persaud, left and went to the scene”.
Depaul related that apparently, Persaud was out all day and came home in a drunken rage around 21:00 hrs.
Ravendra by this time had retired to his bedroom.
“During that time, he heard his mother calling for him…they were in the other bedroom,” but Ravindra, upon trying to respond, discovered that the bedroom door was locked from the inside.
He tried to break down the door but was unsuccessful, “then he tried to call me.”
Depaul added that it appears that Persaud heard his son on the phone calling for help and made his escape shortly after committing the heinous act.
The woman’s relatives found her lying face down in a large pool of blood in the bedroom.
“Blood spattered all over the wall, bed and netting…it appeared that he bored her about three times and then lashed her head with a piece of wood…She appeared like she dead and then we wrapped she in cloth and take her to the hospital”, he noted.
The couple is said to have had a very turbulent relationship where constant quarreling and arguing were the order of the day.
Two months ago, Persaud was placed on one-year bond, after he had been charged for assaulting the woman.
Reports suggest that she used to beg to get him out of the lock-ups.
“When he sober, he appears to be a good man and shows a good face to everyone but when he drunk…..” Depaul said.
The man, who is said to have lots of relatives in the area, up to press time was still at large.
Police have since launched a manhunt for the murder suspect.
His US Passport has also been seized.
He is said to frequent the country and had last returned
to Guyana in January and was scheduled to leave in April.
