An Adelphi East Canje man who allegedly slashed his reputed wife’s throat after she spurned him was on Wednesday committed to stand trial before a judge and jury at the next sitting of the New Amsterdam High Court.
The man, Chetram Nourang, 33, called “Rice Truck” a cane cutter, was committed by Magistrate Geeta Chandan- Edmond at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court after she concluded that a prima facie case had been made out against the accused for murder.
Nourang is accused of murdering Jasodra Budhoo, 45, called Susheila, at Adelphi village East Canje Berbice.
Prosecutor Inspector Aubrey Cumberbatch told the court that the accused and the woman had shared a common law relationship and had lived together in her house for about two years. She eventually put him out after he became very abusive.
It is alleged that on the night of May 26, 2007, he returned to the premises and after entering the house demanded sex and offered to give her $ 1,000.The woman refused and a scuffle ensued during which he slashed her throat with a knife.
The woman managed to make it to a neighbours house from where she was taken to the New Amsterdam Hospital where she remained a patient before succumbing on June 4.
Attorney-at-Law Charrandass Persaud appeared for Nourang after previous attorney John O Persaud had died.
Kaieteur News understands that while Nowrang was awaiting the completion of his Preliminary Inquiry he was found with Narcotics within the prison and was subsequently convicted and sentenced to five years imprisonment.
