-reputed husband being sought
By Gaulbert Sutherland
Looking to begin life anew after separating from an abusive husband, a 22-year-old woman was instead found dead yesterday, her throat slit, after she had gone to her former home at Enmore, East Coast Demerara (ECD) to collect her clothes. The body of Shaneiza Khan, the mother of a five-year-old girl was discovered by her sister, Faneeza, at Khan’s former Enmore residence, a home that she had shared with her reputed husband for four years before moving out a month ago.
Police were yesterday seeking the man, who has not been seen since. A bloody knife was discovered on the bed in the one-room building. Khan’s fully-clothed body was lying next to the bed and relatives said that there were signs that a struggle had taken place.
Sitting on the steps of her Foulis, ECD home yesterday, a grief-stricken Bibi Nazmoon Hamid, Khan’s mother spoke of the abuse that her daughter had endured at the hands of her reputed husband.
