Police are investigating the alleged murder of Alisha Narine, called ‘Tito’, a 36-year-old female Guyanese of Indian descent, a Domestic Worker/Vendor of Plot Z, Grant 1780, Crabwood Creek, Corentyne, Berbice.

The incident occurred between 09:30 and 10:00 hrs today (2025-09-14), at Vishal Singh Sawmill Compound, Crabwood Creek, Corentyne, Berbice, allegedly by her reputed husband Ram Singh.

Investigations revealed that the victim and the suspect shared a common-law relationship for the past fifteen years and had two children. They resided in the Vishal Singh Sawmill Compound and were experiencing domestic problems, which had already engaged the attention of the court.

Taramattie Joseph, called ‘Vanessa’, a 34-year-old US-based female Guyanese, reported that at about 09:30 hrs today, her cousin ‘Tito’ video-called her via WhatsApp while seated under a coconut tree in the sawmill compound. During the call, Joseph observed Ram Singh approach from behind, holding a cutlass in his hand. He took the phone away and told Vanessa, “Today, today I will murder her.” He then ended the call. Vanessa immediately contacted her daughter and reported the incident.

Felisha Narine, the 18-year-old daughter of the victim, stated that she received a call from her neighbour, who informed her that Ram Singh was assaulting her mother. She then took a taxi to the Vishal Singh Sawmill Compound, where she observed her mother’s body lying motionless with apparent chop wounds to the left foot and right hand. She subsequently proceeded to Springlands Police Station and reported the matter.

Upon arrival at the scene, Police observed that the body of the deceased was lying in the compound, behind a heap of stones, clad in blue short pants, a red and white striped shirt, and a yellow T-shirt. The right foot, just below the knee, was almost severed, with additional injuries to the right shoulder and left hand.

The scene was processed, and during a search, the suspect Ram Singh was found about 360 feet away in a sideline trench, under a tree. He was suspected of having consumed a poisonous substance. He was informed of the allegation, arrested, cautioned, and escorted to the No. 75 Village Regional Hospital, Corentyne, Berbice, where he was seen, examined and treated. He admitted to having ingested a poisonous substance, Gramoxone. While receiving treatment, he succumbed and was pronounced dead.

Both bodies are at the Skeldon Public Hospital Mortuary, awaiting separate Post-Mortem Examinations.
