DPP orders cripple charged for murder

DIRECTOR of Public Prosecutions Geoffrey Henderson yesterday gave instructions to police to charge a 46-year-old man for the murder of 41-year-old  Reena Dalchan, who was stabbed to death on Monday and who was buried yesterday. However, investigators are stumped since they cannot charge the fisherman until doctors at San Fernando General Hospital give the go-ahead to release him from the medical institution where up to late yesterday he remained warded in critical condition. After killing the woman, the suspect, of Crissy Street, Enterprise, tried to end his life by jumping off the gallery banister of the house, where the murder took place. He suffered spinal injuries and is now paralysed from the waist down. Police sources said they are not sure when the suspect will be charged since they don’t know when he would be released from hospital, where he is being kept under police guard at Ward Seven. Dalchan, a mother of four, was stabbed to death with an 11-inch fishing knife,  last Monday at her parents’ home, Korea Village, Carapichaima.
