Sooknanan, a 53-year-old labourer of Cunupia, will appear before the Chaguanas Magistrates’ Court.
Both the victim and her husband reportedly got into an argument on Friday 26th April, 2019, when it is reported that the husband attacked and chopped his 53- year-old wife about her body. She died at the scene, while her attacker, who police say made a failed suicide attempt, was taken to hospital.
