The man sus­pect­ed of beat­ing a fe­male rel­a­tive with a piece of iron, leav­ing her in a co­ma at hos­pi­tal, has been found dead in Carlsen Field.

Po­lice said the body of Arnold Ganesh, 44, was dis­cov­ered at 10.30 am yes­ter­day by his fam­i­ly mem­bers.

Ganesh’s de­com­pos­ing body was found hang­ing from a tree lo­cat­ed in bushy lands next to Dal­phus Av­enue, Thomp­son Road, Palmiste, in the Carlsen Field area.

Ganesh’s el­der broth­er An­dre Wil­son told Guardian Me­dia that rel­a­tives had been search­ing for him for the last five days, fol­low­ing a vi­o­lent dis­pute he had with a fe­male rel­a­tive.

“The last thing he told me was that he drank the poi­son and was go­ing to hang him­self.”

Wil­son said the death of his broth­er was heart­break­ing.

“It has been a hard five days. We have been look­ing for him, hop­ing that we would have found him alive. To­day, be­ing the 31st of De­cem­ber, it’s a date we would re­mem­ber.”

Wil­son said Ganesh was a builder and the two were close.

He ad­mit­ted that his broth­er at­tacked a 32-year-old fe­male rel­a­tive who he had been in a re­la­tion­ship with for 11 years on Sat­ur­day.

“It has al­ways been a trou­ble­some re­la­tion­ship, back and forth, back and forth,” Wil­son said.

Po­lice said Ganesh at­tacked the woman with a piece of iron in the house they shared at Dal­phus Trace, Thomp­son Road, be­fore run­ning off, say­ing he was go­ing to drink a poi­so­nous sub­stance.

The woman was dis­cov­ered short­ly af­ter by her 10-year-old son, who alert­ed rel­a­tives.

The woman re­mained in a crit­i­cal con­di­tion in hos­pi­tal in an in­duced co­ma last evening.
