A YOUNG mother of the Richmond Housing Scheme on the Essequibo Coast was rushed to, and admitted as a patient, at the Suddie Hospital on Friday night after consuming a poisonous substance in an attempt to commit suicide.

Reports are that the young mother of two drank a weedicide used for killing grass because she was allegedly suffering from domestic problems.

She is said to be recovering because of the quick medical attention given to her by doctors and nurses at the hospital, and because of the prayers by some members of the Voice of Faith Miracle Ministries church, who were praying for the sick in the hospital on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

A mere week ago, a 22-year-old fisherman of Jibb Housing Scheme on the Essequibo Coast ended his life by suicide. He drank a poisonous substance and died several hours later at the Suddie Hospital.
