A man who allegedly beat his wife yesterday then barged out of the home, was killed in a motor vehicle accident just minutes later. Dead is Edgar Khan, 45, of Cane Grove, Mahaica, East Coast Demerara.
Reports reaching this newspaper said that Khan, employed as a caretaker for a plot of land used as a paddy-field, poultry and vegetable farm, had a misunderstanding with his reputed wife earlier in the afternoon.  Tempers flared and the row eventually escalated into violence.
The man reportedly started up his tractor and was driving away from the home when disaster struck.  Along the way he attempted swerving from a pot hole in the road when the vehicle toppled, ended up in a trench and pinned Khan beneath it.
According to Demerarawaves.com, the man’s reputed wife confirmed to police that she was beaten.  And she did not get a chance to forgive him.
