The woman and her son were murdered by Ganesh in an early morning attack at their Crane, West Coast Demerara home two Fridays ago.

Prior to today’s hearing, Ganesh was taken for a psychiatric evaluation where Doctors determined that he was fit to stand trial.

During the attack in which Ganesh went berserk, he chopped his mother and stabbed and chopped his baby but later claimed that he had no recollection of what he did.

The wife was found with several stabs wounds to her body, lying next to the baby
