– husband taken into custody

The husband of a 26-year-old dental assistant has been taken into custody following the discovery of her body on Tuesday evening at her home at Kuru Kururu village on the Soesdyke/Linden Highway.
The dead woman has been identified as Dhanwantie Ramsarup. Initially, it was suspected that she had committed suicide, but detectives have unearthed marks of violence about her body, and, as such, her husband has been arrested.
The husband, a 30-year-old dentist, reportedly told detectives that his wife had threatened to end her life because she was allegedly suffering from depression.
Based on reports received, the man and his now-dead wife had had a misunderstanding prior to him going to work.
However, he later learned that the woman had reportedly set fire to several pieces of her clothing. He rushed home, and it was then she had threatened to take her life.
Further, he reportedly told Police that, on Tuesday, he was at his parents’ home when he received a telephone call from his wife, who told him that she was going to kill herself.

As such, he and his father went to his residence, where he observed the house in darkness. As they made checks, they found Ramsarup’s motionless body lying face down, with a wire around her neck.
The Police were immediately contacted, and upon arriving at the scene, they reportedly found blood in her nostrils along with injuries to her left wrist and lacerations to her forehead. In addition, blood was seen on the ground about two feet from where her body was lying.

The woman was picked up and taken to the Diamond Diagnostic Centre, where she was pronounced dead on arrival. A post mortem is expected to be conducted shortly. The Police have since retrieved CCTV footage, which is being reviewed.
The dentist remains in custody as investigations continue.
Earlier in the year, 48-year-old Edith Reuben, a housewife, was discovered hanging from a tree at her home at Yarrowkabra, Soesdyke-Linden Highway.
Her husband, Dianand Lakhan, 41, and his friend 36-year-old Aubrey Williams, both of Yarrowkabra, Linden-Soesdyke Highway, have been arraigned for her murder.
It was reported that Reuben lived with her reputed husband, who told Police that they, along with several neighbours, were consuming alcohol on February 6, 2022. However, after some time, the others left for their respective residences, except for a male friend.
The man said that his wife stayed on her verandah consuming alcohol while he and the other man retired to bed.
He reportedly told investigators that at about 04:00h the next morning, the male guest woke him to tell him that he was leaving their home. After acknowledging his guest’s exit, the woman’s husband said, he went back to sleep. Two hours after, he awoke and made the gruesome discovery of his reputed wife’s motionless body hanging from a mango tree in the yard.
Following the discovery, the Police had stated that because of the positioning of the woman’s body, they believed that she was murdered, and her body was placed at the scene.
The post-mortem conducted on the body by Government Pathologist Dr Nehaul Singh confirmed the woman had died because of asphyxiation due to hanging, compounded by blunt trauma to the head.
Following the revelation of the post-mortem examination, the woman’s husband and the alleged male visitor were arrested, and remain in Police custody. It was also reported that the men confessed to killing the woman.
