A man was yesterday arraigned in a New York court for the murder of his Guyana born wife and held without bail.

The New York Daily News reported that Loventino Cassadean, 49, was charged with killing his 22-year-old bride Felicia Cassadean. He pleaded not guilty in the First District Court in Hempstead and was held without bail. He was stone-faced and silent as police walked him to a patrol car, the newspaper reported.

Police said Felicia Cassadean, a mother of two, was found dead in her burning Long Island home on Monday. She was stabbed to death by her husband, possibly after an argument over his sex-abuse arrest, according to
