LILOUTIE Atwaroo called Mona, whose common-law husband allegedly forced her head into a trench at Plantation Walk, Herstelling New Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara, Monday night, died from drowning by compression to the neck, a postmortem report confirmed yesterday.

The body was handed over to relatives after Dr Nehaul Singh gave the cause of death of the 32-year-old woman. The suspect remains in police custody as investigations continue.
Reports are that the couple lived together for a number of years at Herstelling but separated for about two months because of the man’s abusive behaviour. The woman later moved in with relatives at her father’s apartment.

Atwaroo reportedly left her father’s home on Monday night and went to visit her 38-year-old partner. Later, persons in the area heard her crying out for help and when they rushed to the scene, they reportedly saw the man holding her down in a trench.

At the scene, a black cap, a slipper, a jersey and a black bag were found next to the woman’s body. An examination of the exposed parts of the body which were clad in a pair of blue jeans and black jersey, showed no marks of violence.
The woman’s body was taken to the Lyken Funeral Home.

Atwaroo’s reputed husband, who had fled the scene, was later apprehended.
