Crane WCD double murder
Suresh Ganesh, 29, who was shot moments after killing his wife and son at Crane Village, West Bank Demerara (WBD), remains under Police guard at the Georgetown Public Hospital. He was reportedly shot to his hip after he attacked a group of Police Officers as they attempted to arrest him.
Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum told Guyana Times that once the suspect is discharged from the medical facility, he will be slapped with two counts of murder, as well as two counts of attempted murder. He nevertheless stated that the suspect is recuperating and is out of danger. The alleged drug addict carried out the brutal attack on his wife, Vanessa Sookram, 32; and their son, Christopher Ganesh, age three, after he would have read a text message which suggested that his wife was having an affair with the man who supplied him with marijuana. It was this message that led to the brutal attack, in which the perpetrator’s mother, Jennifer Montizore, was also injured. Her right hand as well as the fingers on her left hand was severed. Reports are that the child was found on the bed while his mother was covered in blood on the floor in the shack in which they lived. The child was chopped in his abdomen while his mother was chopped some 20 times about the body. After committing the act, the suspect escaped from the scene and went to another relative at Pouderoyen, WBD, where he related what occurred. The relative then attempted to get Ganesh to surrender but he too was attacked and injured.
The Police were summoned and upon approaching the suspect, they were attacked by the man who was carrying a cutlass. In response, the Police discharged a round hitting him to the hip.
