…daughter reacts to father hacking wife to death

[NY Post] – The daughter of a woman killed and nearly decapitated on a Queens Street allegedly by her jealous husband said her father had been threatening to kill her for years.

“My dad was a very bad person, my mom didn’t deserve to die like that,” Shalhi Ronaldo Ramjaiwan, 30, told The Post in a phone interview from her home in Guyana.

Police said Prem Rampersaud, 50, stabbed his wife and tried to saw off her head in front of witnesses Monday around midnight because he believed she was cheating on him. He was still wearing his pajama bottoms as he was escorted by officials from the 106th Precinct Monday afternoon to the Queens courthouse, where he was expected to be arraigned on murder charges.

But Rampersaud’s daughter said he’s been looking for any excuse in the book to kill the mother of his four children. “He was a drunken type, he always threatened he would kill her,” she said.

A woman renting an apartment to Rampersaud said he came to New York from Guyana two weeks ago on a tourist visa and was looking for work. “He said his wife was cheating on him, but that was BS,” she said. “I called his daughter in Guyana, they have four kids together, three girls and one boy.”

Rampersaud told cops he was angry because he believed his wife – who got to the city a year ago — had made a date online with another man.
