Neldon Neblett, who it is alleged stabbed to death his reputed wife, Anuradha Khatoon called ‘Mama’, last Saturday at their Best Village home, was arrested on Sunday, a police press release said.
Shashikala Lall of Best Village, WCD, the mother of Khatoon, told Stabroek News yesterday that her daughter had suffered five long years of abuse at the hands of her reputed husband. Lall related that her daughter would repeatedly put the suspect out of their family home because of his violent behaviour. Lall said that Neblett would consume his entire salary in alcohol or ‘smoke’ it out, then in his drunken stupor threaten Khatoon with knives and use offensive language towards her. Lall said that Neblett would then return the next day and plead with ‘Mama’ to take him back which she would.
