This was confirmed by Region Three’s (Essequibo Islands-West Demerara) Commander, Assistant Police Commissioner Simon McBean when contacted by this publication on Saturday.
Commander McBean stated that the murder suspect is likely to make his court appearance this week since the post-mortem examination of the murdered woman, Bibi Zameena Ali, is set for Monday.
“We have the post-mortem examination scheduled for Monday so after that he will be charged,” McBean stated.
Ali, 34, a mother of three, was stabbed to death in her Lot 15 Old Road, Crane, WCD home by her reputed husband on Wednesday after she was accused of being unfaithful.

The dead woman’s mother, Rashpattie Persaud, told the media that she was awakened by her daughter’s screams. The woman recounted that she rushed out of her bedroom and saw her son-in-law stabbing her daughter and she too started screaming and pleaded with the man to stop but it was too late.
It was related that the suspect, on numerous occasions, would threaten to take Ali’s life but regardless, the now dead woman did not make a police report.
