Annandale man who hacked wife to death dies by suicide

Bidraj Ganesh, aka “Boy”, the man who murdered his reputed wife, 33-year-old Faliza Ally, has died by suicide while receiving medical treatment under police guard at the Georgetown Public Hospital.

Ganesh, 52, was arrested on Wednesday afternoon after hacking Ally to death inside his home at Annandale Sand Reef on the East Coast of Demerara. He had attempted suicide after fleeing the scene, and was later found and taken into custody, before being admitted at the hospital, where he remained under constant watch by law enforcement officials.
Family members of the deceased woman told this publication on Thursday morning that they had visited the police station to check on the status of the investigation, and were informed that Ganesh had succumbed to his injuries.
They said the police told them the man died on Thursday morning.
Ally, a mother of seven and a cleaner at Annandale Primary School, had been in a relationship with Ganesh for over eight years. For much of that time, she reportedly endured repeated physical abuse. Despite multiple attempts to leave him, she was often threatened and manipulated into returning.
In November 2024, she made a final decision to leave, moving back to her parents’ home in Lusignan. However, Ganesh reportedly continued to harass her, making threats and accusing her of being involved with another man.
On the day of her murder, Ally followed her usual routine, going to work at the Annandale Primary School. Sometime after noon, she was at Ganesh’s home, where she was brutally attacked. Her body was later found with multiple wounds, including a deep gash to the back of her neck.
