A mother of three was found murdered in her bedroom at Corriverton, Berbice, yesterday by her husband.

Dead is Nalini Bhoge, called “Nalo”, 46, of 19 Line Path.

The woman’s bloodied body was found in her bedroom with her throat slashed.

Her husband and mother are in police custody assisting with investigations, reports said.

Residents said that the relationship between Bhoge and her husband was a ‘stormy one’ and up to Saturday night they were heard arguing loudly.

They said that the man was under the influence and apparently they had another misunderstanding.

The husband claimed that he went out yesterday morning and upon his return was reading the newspapers and smelled ‘something’ burning; and when he called out to his wife and he got no response, he went in search of her.

His wife had been preparing a meal, he said.

Then he found her bloodied body in the bedroom.

He also gave conflicting reports about taking one of his daughters to school and then going to work at a sawmill.

Reports indicate that there was no sign of a robbery as nothing seemed to be missing from the home.

The three children were questioned by policemen at the Springlands Station.

Police said a blood-stained cutlass and ice-pick were found near the body.

A man has been arrested and is in custody assisting with investigations.
