A Crabwood Creek man, who escaped to Suriname four years ago after reportedly murdering his wife, was yesterday charged with the capital offence after being nabbed due to his deportation from the neighbouring country.

Daveanand Albert, 50, was being processed at the Springlands Police Station when an alert police officer recognised him and he was immediately arrested.

He faced a charge yesterday at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court of murdering Esther Liloutie Albert, 44,
