The Crane, West Coast Demerara man who allegedly stabbed his wife to death at midnight on Tuesday before ingesting poison has been listed in stable condition and is currently under police guard at the West Demerara Regional Hospital.
Mother of three, Bibi Zameena Ally also known as ‘Annette’ of Lot 15, Old Road, Crane, was fatally stabbed allegedly by her husband, Natram Lall. Bibi was said to have been stabbed eight times to the neck, chest and stomach. The attack happened around the time the couple were retiring to bed on Tuesday at around midnight.
Mother of the dead woman, Rajpattie Persaud, had told Stabroek News that she noticed nothing amiss between the two earlier in the day since they were chatting as they would normally do and cooking together before Lall left to go purchase materials for the construction of a downstairs apartment, after his wife requested he do so.
On Wednesday when this newspaper visited the home of Ally, Rajpattie had recounted the attack. “The last word I hear she told him was, ‘Ah want to sleep, ah got to go to work in the morning’ and me eye shut away till when I hear she [scream] and she seh, “Mommy, mommy” and by the time me run out and me big grandson run out fuh approach she bedroom, she run out and fall down in front of meh bedroom door. I seh she unconscious and decide fuh get the alcohol fuh rub she up. I approach him [Lall] and asked him, ‘What happen’ and he seh, ‘She crazy.’ That the word he use to me. That she crazy and she only want to sleep, sleep. Then ah see all the blood start run out from she and then ah see he gat a knife. I didn’t see the knife before then,” she had said.
Ally’s brother and other neighbours rushed her to the WDRH where she was pronounced dead on arrival. Lall was afterwards found by the police hiding at one of the neighbour’s houses. Upon arresting him they realised that he had ingested a poisonous substance and needed medical attention.
Police are continuing their investigations.
