A Number 69 Village, Corentyne man who was wanted for the attempted murder of his ex-partner last year was deported from Suriname yesterday.
Sasenarine Sankar, 47, a barber, was nabbed by the Surinamese authorities at a tyre shop in that country. He is to be charged shortly, according to the police.
In April of 2023, Stabroek News had reported on the attack on 34-year-old Sandy Persaud after she ended an abusive relationship with Sankar.
Persaud said that she was at her mother’s house when the man invaded the premises and allegedly began chopping her about her body at around 5 am. At the time, her son had been heading out to work. When he had opened the door, Sankar rushed in.
Relatives had said that before they could respond the man had already dealt Persaud several chops about her body and broadsided her elderly mother who attempted to intervene.
Sankar then escaped from the scene and Persaud was rushed to hospital.
