Two months after leaving her matrimonial home and the turbulent relationship she shared with her husband, 25-year-old Cindy Ramchandar of No.47 Village, East Berbice, Corentyne was stabbed to death by the man on Monday.
He has been identified as Suraj Ganpat of Cumberland Village, East Canje.

However, just about two months ago, they began experiencing marital issues and Ramchandar decided to leave. She moved to her aunt’s home in No.47 Village, Corentyne.
The aunt, Anita Thribowan, told reporters that her nephew’s daughter, a 3-year-old, would usually stay at the house as well and the mother of the child called Ramchandar to bring the toddler to her home, a few houses away.

Thribowan said that Ramchandar had told her mother that the suspect was “too mean” and that she was experiencing problems in the marriage. She then made the decision to leave two months ago.
“She meet very tough time with this bai and he parents them she does complain to her mom about everything, that’s why she mommy bring she back here before them do she anything,” Thribowan disclosed.
She stated that the suspect worked on a ship but opined that he may have returned a few days ago unknowning to his wife. Relatives believe the attack was informed and premeditated.
“…because he was waiting at the health centre and when she come out, he knock she off the bike and stab she.”
