THE
family of slain Carapichaima mother Marilyn Murggan wants a funeral
service for her separate from her husband, Harold Ali, who confessed to
killing her before he committed suicide.
Sudansingh, 32, said: “We are not coping well. We are still in shock. My sisters do not want a joint funeral. They cannot come to terms with what he did.”
Sudansingh said he discovered his mother’s body in the bathroom of her home at Wyaby Road, Waterloo, on Carnival Tuesday.
An autopsy performed yesterday by Dr Valery Alexandrov found the 50-year-old mother of four suffered manual strangulation and there were vague imprints of fingernails on her neck.
Alexandrov also performed the autopsy on Ali, also 50, and confirmed that he ingested a poisonous substance, a herbicide.
Ali died at San Fernando General Hospital on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, he telephoned one of his daughters and confessed to killing Murggan and said he was going to drink poison. Hours later he was found lying in a drain in Victoria Street, Gasparillo.
Of his mother’s relationship with Ali, Sudansingh said they had lived together for almost four years and Ali was never violent to her.
Sudansingh said on Carnival Monday his mother sold drinks from a bar in front of their home. He said he was told that later that night villagers heard the couple quarrelling and Ali left the house in his vehicle.
“This is very shocking. They had their usual quarrels but there was never violence. He cared for my mother a lot,” said Murggan’s son.
Funeral arrangements were being made for the weekend.
