It was confirmed that Singh died from multiple stab wounds while the toddler died from one stab wound to his abdomen.
Meanwhile, four other family members remain in the Intensive Care Unit at the Suddie Public Hospital. The suspect remains in police custody.

On Thursday last, the teenager went berserk at his home in the Pomeroon River.

According to reports, after the teen stabbed Singh, he attacked the three children, ages one, three and six, and his two sisters. He stabbed one of the women and the three children about the bodies while the other woman’s throat was slashed, after which he fled the area.

The injured persons were placed in a boat and rushed to the Charity Hospital. Singh was pronounced dead on arrival.

The other injured persons were all transferred to the Suddie Hospital where two of them were rushed to the theatre for emergency surgery while the other three, who were admitted to the ICU, are in stable condition.

Three-year-old Williams succumbed to his injuries later in the evening. The motive for the murder is not clear but according to reports reaching Guyana Chronicle, the teenager was scared of COVID and that drove him to commit the act. He took a test but the results came out negative.
