Corentyne man who fatally stabbed ex-wife turns self in

Days after stabbing his ex-wife – 24-year-old Cindy Ramchandar – to death, the suspect, Suraj Ganpat, turned himself in on Thursday. This was confirmed by Regional Commander Boodnarine Persaud.

However, up to press time investigators were still receiving information from the suspect.
Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum had earlier told Guyana Times that the Police were making stringent efforts to apprehend the suspect.
Ramchandar had severed the relationship and had moved out of East Canje and back to her Corentyne home about two months before her demise.
Notwithstanding that, Ganpat accused the woman of infidelity.
It was reported that the now dead woman ended the relationship after she had been constantly abused by Ganpat. However, on Monday, Ramchandar of Number 47 Village, Corentyne, left her home on her electric bike to drop off her three-year-old niece at her parent’s home, which is one street away.
While she was in front of the child’s mother’s home, Ganpat reportedly drove up and struck her off the bike. He reportedly exited the car, attacked the woman with a knife, and stabbed her several times before fleeing the scene. The injured woman was picked up and taken to the Skeldon Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The couple had no children.
Anita Thirbhowan, an aunt of the dead woman, told Guyana Times on Monday that, “I don’t know who call the boy and tell him that this gyal going by them to drop the child over there…but the boy get some details, because he is not living at Rose Hall so he could reach so fast. He come from till in New Amsterdam and wait in front of the health centre. That is where he catch the gyal, she go with a red scooter and he push down the scooter and he stab she.”
According to her, the couple had been married two years ago, but separated two months ago. During their marriage, Ramchandar had suffered constant abuse at the hands of her husband.
