A fifty-eight-year-old vendor died at the Georgetown Public Hospital last Thursday, just days after she was allegedly beaten by her abusive husband at New Amsterdam, Berbice.
Dead is Janette Tahal, who was a resident of Smithfield, New Amsterdam.
The 60-year-old suspect, her husband, was arrested by the police. The High Court on Friday granted the police an extension of his detention. He is likely to be charged tomorrow.
