East Coast fisherman remanded over murder of wife

Ricardo Kattow, the East Coast fisherman who allegedly murdered his reputed wife, Aneeza Ishmael, and attempted suicide by consuming a poisonous substance afterwards, yesterday made his first court appearance at the Vigilance Magistrate’s Court where he was charg-ed and remanded to prison. 

Kattow, 27, also called ‘Otis’ of Hope Estate, East Coast Demerara (ECD) appeared before Magistrate Fabayo Azore who read the charge to him. He was not required to plead since the matter was laid indictably. Otis is expected to make his second appearance on April 25th when the case against him will be called again. According to a press release previously issued by the Guyana Police Force (GPF), Kattow and his 26-year-old wife of the same address, had ongoing domestic issues and he frequently accused her of being unfaithful.
