Chenango County Inmate Facing Bribery Charges

A Chenango County man convicted of murdering his wife is now facing bribery charges.

The Chenango County Sheriff's Office says Ganesh 'Remy' Ramsaran allegedly offered a Corrections Officer $100,000 to help him escape from jail.

The officer immediately notified his supervisor and Ramsaran was sent back to the Chenango County Jail on $1 million bail.

Ramsaran will return to the Town of Norwich court at a later date.

Officials say the investigation is continuing with additional charges possible.

Ramsaran was convicted of second-degree murder in September in the December 2012 death of his wife Jennifer.
