The husband of the Guyanese woman who was found dead in her Schenectady, New York apartment on Saturday afternoon has been charged with her murder.
Yetraj Mangar
Sixty-year old Yetraj Mangar, who is also Guyanese, appeared in the Schenectady City Court yesterday morning after he was charged with second-degree murder of his wife Jaiwanti Mangar, a report in the Schenectady Daily Gazette said. He was refused bail and is currently being held in the Schenectady County jail. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.
The post-mortem examination revealed that the woman died from severe skull fractures and brain injuries resulting from blunt-force trauma to her head. According to Robert Carney, the Schenectady County District Attorney, the couple appeared to have had a history of unreported domestic violence. Carney was unsure as to what weapon was used in the attack but said that the violence apparently stemmed from an argument concerning the couple’s relocation.
Yetraj wanted to return to his homeland while his wife wanted to remain in the USA. The couple had migrated to the USA in 2000.
Jaiwanti Mangar
Carney also said that initial reports about her husband being out of the country when she was killed proved false. And one media entity reported that the suspect attended a service for his wife at the church the evening after she had died.
Police department spokes-man Officer Kevin Green was unsure if Mangar had a criminal record and could offer few additional details about the incident.
According to a report in the daily gazette Jaiwanti Mangar was discovered on the floor of her apartment at 402 Division Street around 2:45 pm on Saturday afternoon. She was discovered by a relative who called the police.
Meanwhile a funeral service for the woman was held at the Faith Deliverance Tabernacle Church, where she was remembered as a soft-spoken and hard working woman.
Even in America Guyanese are killing each other.Whats wrong with men today??If he wanted to come back here(i hope was for a vacation) and she wanted to stay, whats the big deal.Leave the woman where she is and come and enjoy yourself.The woman probably had her reasons why she didnt want to come to Guyana anyway. To take someones life is a very serious crime and he should be punished beyond his years, the jail time must be so much that when he is finished he is too old to come back to Guyana.
He too damn old to be committin murder in de fus place.
Sand, I’ve been here nearly 30 yrs, so I know the rules, the US would give him time, with good behavior, his age, coupled with if he never committed a crime in Guyana, he would only serve some time, when his case is heard, he would be told of the amount of time he has to serve and that after serving, he’ll be deported back to his Country, on completion of time the judge alotted, he would be forthwith taken to the airport under guard and arrived at Guyana’s airport, where the CID division, would take him to CID to be finger printed and whatever else they do there, then released, (not sure of other procedures done in Guyana,) as Guyanese says, “nah tek worries.)
mi na sure guyana want he and sure as hell don’t need he. Matter of fact, dem na ready for he
This has gotten way out of control. What could this poor lady have done to cause this old goat to kill her?
Joe.
so sad, lock his backside down in the jailhouse, he don’t know how to act.
“Yetraj wanted to return to his homeland while
his wife wanted to remain in the USA”
It seems as if Mr Yetraj Mangar will not see his
homeland anytime soon, look at his age, I’m sorry for him.
how you sorry fa he? He murder he own wife for some stupid reason and you mek he out to be di victim
Shucks , this man looks scary !
Send him to prison , so he now could experience a different kind of abuse, if you know what i mean !
If convicted, he would never have the chance to return to Guyana, because he will spend the rest of his life in jail in the Big Apple.
“Yetraj wanted to return to his homeland while his wife wanted to remain in the USA. The couple had migrated to the USA in 2000″
…………..money tight…..finicial melt down hitting hard…..yetraj mangra under pressure……mi want go back home!! ………bi u must stay and do the time and then deportation status in place to abbi government…….when you return home them boys should put you in a quak-ho nest to enjoy guyana.!!…..
And give e a good “roughing up”.Lol!!
He’s such an a**, he could have returned to Guyana, without killing her, these men like to rule women, he thought he was in Guyana, now he’ll learn, others take note, never, it’s like a war out there, if a woman don’t want these loosers, that’s the first thing they resort to, “ME CAN’T GET U, NO ONE ELSE WOULD.”and this killing wasn’t only about he wanting to leave for Guyana, it’s more, just that families not saying.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE MUST STOP-COME ON IF YOU WANT TO KILL SOME ONE KILL YOURSELF .
…… this disgrace like so many b4 him ,, to the image of GUYANESE !,,,, and probably more to come ,, should be an example to the US Emb : in GY ,, there is one of the same ethnicity who is to come to the US ,, he is perhaps here already ,, who if the consul ,, could just have been a fly ,, to see his behavior and hear his rants and raves,, i’m sure they would have no reservations abt deny him entry to this society !…………. shocking does not adequately describe this degerate !,,,,,
……they should start doing interview separatly with husband and wife at the us embasy to avoid them migrating with their old guyanese way of life…….do an investigation into his pass on domestic violence to avoid guyanese in the us the disgrace……….
Drumup change for GUYANA…man u kidding..the same idiots running the same political parties,the same crooks running the city…all the best MINDS borne from the English educational system left for greener pastures a long time ago and are not willing to go back to make changes (like myself)I am happy to be outside looking in.
This is another instance where Guyanese people disgrace our country.
yes, it seems to be the recent trend home in Guyana, and it is going international
it doesn’t matter what his background is. And, how many guyanese have commited murder in America?? Plus, you can’t judge all Guyanese based upon one man? Disgrace? all right, I guess di rest of Americans don’t disgrace America. it’s only di guyanese.
