Murdered:
Bridgette Gangadin
She
said there are numerous
reports lodged with the
police at Vigilance

lock up Mr. Gangadin for a

released and goes back to
his old ways of hitting
her daughter so badly she
often had to seek medical
attention.

Gangadin’s sister,
Natasha Bharrat, told the
Guyana Chronicle that they
learnt that her sister and
her husband went to visit
friends at Enmore and
Enterprise Saturday night,
also on the East Coast
Demerara and had returned
home in a motorcar.
But then they had a fight
over a cell phone call,
and they left home in a
canter truck.
Bharrat said the row was
over the cell phone call
from a woman who is the
mother of Gangadin’s
child.
Bharrat said she and her
mother had on numerous
occasions advised her
sister to leave Gangadin.
And when she did so, he
would come to her
mother’s house and beg
his wife to return, and
she always did.
The woman’s body was
discovered on the roadway
not far from the Vigilance
Police Station, with her
throat slit and it
appeared as if she was run
over by a vehicle.
Her husband was later
arrested at Enterprise.
The couple operated an
upholstery business at
Lusignan.
