Fatal car crash in Woodhaven
Man kills wife, gets 18 years
A Nassau Cou nt y woma n was killed when the car she was driving struck a pole on Woodhaven Boulev a r d i n Wo o d h a v e n M o n d a y morning. At a rou nd 11: 4 0 a .m., p ol ic e responded to a report of a vehicle that struck a light pole at the corner of Woodhaven Boulevard and 89th Avenue near the Woodhaven Park Estates housing development. Police deter mined that Theresa Venezia, 66, of North Massapequa, LI was driving a 2012 Nissan Sentra northbound on Woodhaven Boulevard when she apparently lost control and hit the pole at the intersection. EMS also responded and transported Venezia to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where she was pro nounced dead on arrival. She was the only occupant of the vehicle and no other injuries were reported. The accident caused minor delays on the northbound side of Woodhaven Boulevard that lasted for several hours, at one point backing up traffic as far as Liberty Avenue. Q The investigation is ongoing.
A Richmond Hill man, who had an order of protection issued against him directing him to stay away from his wife, has been sentenced to 18 years in prison for fatally stabbing her last August. Ganesh Seelall, 40, of 117th Street pleaded guilty in April to first-degree manslaughter in the death of his wife, Samantha Seelall last summer. According to the criminal charges, while at home between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 2:32 p.m. on Aug. 16, 2012, Seelall killed his wife. She suffered multiple stab wounds to her chest and to the left side of her head, neck compression and smothering. Police found the victim underneath the bed in the couple’s bedroom, naked with a blanket over her torso, and a black plastic bag with duct tape around her head and rags tied to both of her wrists. An order of protection had been issued on behalf of Samantha Seelall in January 2012 — which was in effect until January 2014 — and stated, among other things, that Ganesh Seelall was to refrain from assaulting, stalking, menacing, intimidating, threatening, or committing any other criminal offenses Q against her.

106th Precinct construction The facade of the 106th Precinct is just like many other police stations in the city with its brick, art-deco exterior and iconic lamps on either side of the main entrance. But since last week, the building on 101st Street in Ozone Park has been wrapped in scaffolding, leaving nearby residents to wonder what was going on. Frank Dardani, president of the 106th Precinct Community Council, said he was not aware of any planned work and the NYPD did
not respond to requests for comment. But multiple sources say the work has something to do with cracks found in the building’s foundation. The precinct is located only steps from the A elevated line over Liberty Avenue and passing trains often shake the building, which can cause problems with foundations. The station house is still open and operational as the construction work continues. — Domenick Rafter
