A THIRTY-FIVE-year-old man killed himself on Tuesday, after he attacked and stabbed his 27-year-old lover at Black Bush Polder, Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne).
Dead is Troy Sandy. Reports are that the woman and her two children were en route to her home in a hire car when the vehicle was blocked by motorcar PKK 2541 which was being driven by Sandy.

Sandy exited the car with a cutlass in his hand and began to behave disorderly towards the woman.

The hire car driver and another man in the area tried to deescalate the situation when the man attempted to chop the victim.

He then threw the cutlass aside, whipped out a knife and stabbed the woman to the mid-region of her neck. He then went into his motorcar and sped away, making good his escape.

The victim was assisted by the taxi driver to the Mibicuri Public Hospital, where she was treated and transferred to the New Amsterdam Public Hospital for further treatment. She is currently admitted a patient in a serious but stable condition.

Sandy was subsequently found at the Mibicuri Public Hospital where he was admitted after drinking a substance. He later succumbed.
