Dead: Anthony Permaul
Dhannmatie Seenarine, also called “Sisto” or “Nurse”, of Lot 52 Rose Hall Town, Corentyne, appeared before Magistrate Alex Moore. The 52-year-old woman is accused of killing her husband on February 26.
It is alleged that on February 26, at Port Mourant, she killed 41-year-old Anthony Permaul, called “Banks” or “Banko”, of Clifton Settlement Port Mourant. She was charged under section 94 of the Criminal Law (Offences) Act Chapter 8:01.
Bail was granted in the sum of $150,000 and the matter will continue on March 19 at the Whim Magistrate’s Court.
It had been reported that Permaul and Seenarine had been living in a common-law relationship for several years. On the day in question, the couple were imbibing at their premises during which they had a misunderstanding which turned into an argument.
Permaul reportedly assaulted Seenarine who then picked up a cutlass and chopped him. He was taken to the Port Mourant Hospital the following day and subsequently transferred to the New Amsterdam Hospital where he subsequently died.
