TT man surrenders after killing Guyanese woman

Hours after a Trinidad and Tobago national allegedly murdered his former employer’s common-law wife, Ashanti “Nicky” Debidin, out of jealousy, he surrendered to law enforcement authorities on Saturday evening last.

According to reports coming out of the twin-island republic, the 21-year-old man of Garth Road, Princes Town, contacted CNC3’s “Crime Watch” host who arranged to meet him outside the San Fernando Teaching Hospital.

After meeting the host, he was encouraged to surrender and complied. He was then taken to the Homicide Bureau Region Three at the San Fernando Police Station where he provided a detailed statement about the incident.

Debidin, 26, was found dead by her five-year-old son at their Garth Road, Princes Town home on Saturday.

It was reported that Debidin was murdered after lunch on Saturday. Her body was found in a sitting position propped against a wall in the kitchen.

Both wrists were slit and there was a gaping wound on her forehead. Her mother-in-law, Nazmoon Siewnarine, was reportedly in the upper flat of the house when the incident occurred. There were no signs of forced entry, and robbery as a motive for the murder was ruled out since nothing was stolen.

Two days after the gruesome murder, the dead woman’s common-law husband, Imray Siewnarine said the suspect reportedly told others that he chopped the woman after he ended their relationship.

The businessman reportedly told investigators that the suspect said he wanted him to feel the way he felt when he was dumped.

The murder suspect was employed by Siewnarine who even gave him money to take care of his seven-month-old baby and could not understand the motive for hurting his wife. Debidin and Siewnarine have been together for the past eight years and have a son.

The last time Siewnarine claimed he saw the suspect was a few weeks ago in a fast food outlet where he was verbally abused.

Siewnarine told Trinidadian media operatives that he was at work when the incident occurred. He said he left Debidin and their son at home and went to Chaguanas to complete a job.

“I got a phone call saying that Nicky dead. When I came home, I saw her body. I know someone killed her because she wouldn’t do this to herself,” Siewnarine said. Family members of the dead woman are still in shock, saying that they last spoke to the woman on Mother’s Day but at no point in time did she complain of any issues.
