The police yesterday detained the husband of the Bath Squatting Area woman whose partially decomposed body was found in her house around 6 pm on Tuesday.
Chandrawattie Williams, also known as “Geeta”, 44, of Bath Squatting Area, West Coast Berbice, was discovered by her 13-year-old son on Tuesday around 6 pm in their house.
Stabroek News was told yesterday that the man was arrested on the East Coast Demerara at a relative’s home.
Neighbours had suggested on Wednesday that the man, who is originally from the East Coast Demerara area, may have been hiding out at a relative’s house, since they would often visit him.
He is now being held for questioning, while a post-mortem exanimation is expected to be done on the woman’s body today in order to ascertain the cause of her death.
The police are continuing the investigation.
