THIRTY-NINE-YEAR-OLD Indranie Sugrim, also known as Indra, of 503 Block “Y” Cummings Lodge, was up to press time last evening the country’s latest victim of domestic violence resulting in murder. 
Yesterday morning the mother of three was murdered in her single bedroom house, allegedly by her reputed husband, whose name was given as Paul Singh. Up to news time, the man was said to be hiding.
The Guyana Chronicle, which was the first to arrive on the scene, was told that the two had an argument earlier yesterday morning but persons failed to intervene. One of those persons who failed to intervene was the dead woman’s sister who told the Chronicle that the man was never comfortable with her around and as such she was afraid to go to her sister’s rescue.
The woman, who gave her name as Mala, said that she was at home when she heard her sister shouting to the man, “You come in my house with a knife? Get out of my house”.
She said there was silence and seconds later her niece came rushing to her with the sad news.
Mala explained that the man does not really live at the house with the woman and her daughter, but in a shack over the road from the woman.
She added that the couple was seeing each other for the past five years and that five years was marred with arguments and fights. The man was always abusive to her sister and so her sister would usually keep her gate chained and locked.
The dead woman’s brother told this publication that he was on the upper East Coast of Demerara when he received a call saying his sister had been stabbed to death.
He said that when he arrived at the house, he noticed that there was a crowd of spectators. He tried to get into the house to see his sister, but the police stopped him.
He was told that the man had fled the scene after stabbing his sister.

The man explained to the Guyana Chronicle that at the time of the murder the dead woman’s daughter was not at home but was over at her grandmother’s house a few blocks away. He added that following the attack, the woman was able to make a phone call to her mother’s house.
During that call she informed her daughter of what happened and her daughter rushed to her rescue. But the little girl arrived too late.
Meanwhile several persons who live in the area were heard commenting loudly about no one going to the woman’s rescue.
They feel that had persons in the area intervened in the couple’s argument, the woman may have been alive today.
