Mom of two charged with killing her husband
An attractive-looking young mother of two from central Trinidad appeared in the Scarborough Magistrates’ Court yesterday afternoon charged with the murder of her husband.
Leela Ramdass-Singh, 21, of Dow Village Settlement, California, appeared before Magistrate Joan Gill in the Second Court on a charge of murdering Larry Singh, 35, also known as Larry Poori, of Coryat Village, Cocoyea, San Fernando, at Lowlands, Tobago, on April 5. Ramdass-Singh was charged by Detective Cpl Sterling Roberts, of the Old Grange Police Station. The decomposing body of Singh, who was reportedly employed with a maintenance company at the nearby Tobago Hilton, was discovered in an apartment at Lowlands late Monday afternoon after neighbours were alerted by a foul smell.
The body was reportedly in a pool of blood with wounds to the head. An autopsy performed Tuesday by pathologist Dr Hughvon desVignes revealed that the victim died from “blunt cranio cerebral traumatic injuries”. The victim was last seen alive on Saturday in the company of a woman. Ramdass-Singh was detained for questioning by police in Trinidad and returned to Tobago on Tuesday where she was further interrogated. The couple had been reportedly living in Tobago with their two children for the past 11 months.
Yesterday, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) issued instructions that she be charged with Singh’s murder. The accused, mother of two infants — a boy and girl aged two years and four years respectively — appeared in court dressed in a black low-cut jersey type blouse, purple and brown tye-dye skirt, and wearing rainbow-coloured rubber slippers. She was expressionless and appeared to be in a daze. The accused was unrepresented by an attorney and made a formal application for Legal Aid. She was remanded in custody and is to reappear in court on April 15.
