THE rift between Deonarine Sanasie’s family and those of his now executed wife, Patricia “Patsy” Sanasie has widened following her execution on Monday night outside her home in the presence of her daughter.The Guyana Chronicle has been informed that the man is now afraid of the woman’s relatives, fearing that they may want to harm him in retaliation for her execution. The woman’s relatives have also reportedly expressed fear of the man and his family thinking that, that faction would continue to bring harm to their side.

Meanwhile, there have already been reports that the dead woman’s daughter who was with her at the time of her execution has since gone into hiding for fear of being harmed by her father or his agents.

The fear has grown so much that the relatives of the dead woman are reluctant to travel to this country for her funeral and as such, a decision was taken to have her cremated in the United States. Deonarine Sanasie is also in the United States, but reportedly not in the same state as the relatives of the woman and the location where her funeral will be held.

Yesterday a senior police source dispelled the notion that they would be seeking to have the man extradited to this country for questioning and/or charges in relation to his wife’s murder. The police source said that such a move would have to be based on facts and the evidence available to them as they go along in the investigation.

Since the woman’s death, there have been numerous views surrounding the incident, most of which suggest that the man ordered the hit on the woman from his present location in the US, believing that his presence out of the country at the time of her death could solve as a perfect defence to delink him from the crime.

“That is not necessary right now because all the claims that he is part of her killing are just speculation,” the police source said. Meanwhile, a post-mortem was performed on the remains of the woman yesterday. This newspaper was told the pathologist was able to recover two warheads from her body.

In February 2014, Deonarine Sanasie had accused his wife and her brother of ordering a hit on him which had failed. The man said that the information had been relayed to him by another relative of the woman, who was privy to the plan and they decided to inform him.

The woman and her brother had denied the claims that they would ever want to hurt the man, even as the woman admitted that she and the man had not been having happy times. She had even stated that she moved in to live with him while she was still 16 years old.

Following the publicity about the alleged plan to have her husband executed, parents who had children attending a private school that the woman operated began taking their children out of the school, forcing the woman to close the doors to her education facility.

“Patsy” Sanasie was reportedly getting ready to migrate, but was hoping to do so after securing someone to rent her building at Mc Doom, East Bank Demerara, where she operated the school; she had planned to rent the building after pressure-washing the structure.

The intention of the gunman who carried out what is being considered a hit on Patricia “Patsy” Sanasie was never to have her remain alive.

This was evident given the parts of the body where she was shot. Crime Chief Leslie James on Tuesday afternoon confirmed that the woman was shot to the neck, chest and stomach
