A 28-year-old mother of three of Soesdyke Back Road, East Bank Demerara, has been arrested in connection with the death of her reputed husband who died almost two weeks ago.

According to the police , Julian Anthony Reberio, age 32 died on  May 13, 2018 about 03:00hrs.

The police said that the cause of his death was given as asphyxiation due to compression injuries to the neck following a post-mortem done on the May 18th. Reberio was laid to rest last Thursday.

The suspect initially told police that her husband went home intoxicated and fell in the house and as a result, she rushed him to the Diamond Diagnostic Center where he died.

However , today she  recanted her story during questioning and told investigators that the couple  had an altercation and she became annoyed and strangled him.

Investigations are  in progress.
