Geeta Mahadeo expected to spend the day before Father's Day cooking, shopping and preparing her five children to visit their father at the Maximum Security Prison in Arouca.

Instead, she sat at her Debe home in a haze of grief, with more questions than answers about the death of her common-law husband Dhanraj Seukumar, who was found hanging in his cell at the prison on June 13.

In an interview with Newsday, Mahadeo said she got a call from the prison on the night of June 13. Seukumar, 33, and another man were charged on April 12, 2001, with the murder of a relative in Mayaro on April 4.
