29-Y-O construction worker charged with murder of partner, 48

Shivnanand Henry also called “Sunny”, a 29-year-old construction worker of De Groot En Klyne Uitvlugt, West Coast Demerara (WCD), was remanded to prison on Friday after he was arraigned for the murder of his 48-year-old partner, Bibi Naseefa Baksh.
The man appeared before Magistrate Zamilla Ali-Seepaul at the Leonora Magistrate’s Court, where the charge was read to him but he was not required to plead. He was remanded to prison until August 25.
According to Police, the couple would frequently be embroiled in domestic disputes which would lead to physical altercations. However, on the day in question while under the influence of alcohol, the couple engaged in a heated argument which subsequently turned physical.
According to information received, Henry reportedly kicked the now dead woman down their wooden stairs and dragged her onto the roadway, where he continued to kick her. He then armed himself with a piece of wood and dealt her several blows about the body.
After the brutal beating, the suspect and the victim’s daughter assisted Baksh back into the house where she was then taken to her bedroom and helped onto her bed. Shortly thereafter, Baksh was discovered to be unresponsive.
Upon realising that something was wrong, the victim’s daughter raised an alarm as the suspect fled the scene. The Police were contacted and upon arriving at the location, observed Baksh lying motionlessly in the bedroom.
Visible abrasions were seen on her forehead, shoulder, arms, and knees. Efforts to locate Henry at the time were unsuccessful. However, one day after the murder, Henry was nabbed by law enforcement officers.
