Berbice man who stabbed wife to death arrested on ECD

After days of evading investigators, Ugan Kumal Williams, also called “Shahrukh Khan”, of Bath Squatting Area, West Coast Berbice, was on Thursday evening nabbed at Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara.
Williams is the prime suspect in the brutal slaying of his wife Chandrawattie Williams, whose decomposing body was found by the couple’s teenage son in the home they had shared. The discovery was made on Tuesday at about 18:00h, and the woman’s body bore several stab wounds, suspected to have been inflicted by the suspect.
The dead woman’s brother, Dharampaul Mohan, told Guyana Times that his 13-year-old nephew had received a phone call from his father, instructing him to go to the house and turn on the lights. He did so, and then made the discovery of his mother’s body lying in the home.
The teen raised an alarm, and subsequently saw his father approaching him with a cutlass in his hand. According to Mohan, this caused his nephew to run over to his aunt’s house to seek refuge.
This publication understands that the late Chandrawattie Williams had been constantly abused by her husband in their 20-year-long relationship. Court records even showed that he had been charged with assault of Chandrawattie Williams, the most recent such charges being implemented last week.
However, when the matters were called in court, his wife had declined to give evidence.
The suspect had also been before the court for allegedly burning down the house they once shared.
On Friday, the post-mortem examination was conducted on Chandrawattie Williams’ body by Government Pathologist, Dr Nehaul Singh, but the results proved to be inconclusive.
