NORWICH – A motion to disqualify the Chenango County District Attorney from prosecuting the case of an alleged homicide involving the murder of a New Berlin woman has been denied. The motion alleges a conflict of interest which would have required the appointment of a special prosecutor from outside the district attorney’s office.

Ganesh R. Ramsaran, 38, of New Berlin, was indicted in May of 2013 for second degree murder, a class A-I felony, in connection with the alleged murder of his 36-year-old wife, Jennifer L. Ramsaran. According to indictment papers, Ramsaran intentionally caused the death of his wife at the couples’ 449 Sheff Road residence in the Town of New Berlin, on or about December 11, 2012.
