The deceased’s mother related to this newspaper that on Sunday night her daughter’s lifeless body was discovered by her older sister who resides in Hampshire, Corentyne. The sister, Vashti, related that she sensed something was amiss after Luke, a cousin of the victim’s husband called her.
Vashti and Luke visited the home and called several times but received no answer.

When the police were summoned, they were able to rescue Tarachand who was attempting to commit suicide.

A post-mortem examination performed on the woman revealed that she died of manual strangulation.
