27-year-old man allegedly stabbed to death by wife

A 27-year-old man died on Sunday after his 18-year-old wife allegedly stabbed him to death at Macknab, Lima Sands, Essequibo Coast. Dead is Anthony Shivlall, called ‘Davie’, of Lima Sands.

Guyana Police Force reported that the incident occurred hours after an argument between the couple who attended the birthday party of the wife’s grandmother, last Saturday night. According to the Police report, the grandmother said that the couple had an argument at around 5:00hrs after which the suspect left and went home.

The grandmother related that she was dancing in her yard when she saw her granddaughter return, and she asked for her husband when she told her that he was inside the lower flat of the house. The woman said her granddaughter went into the lower flat of the house, where she spent a while, which prompted her to make checks.

Upon checking, she said she saw Shivlall lying on the ground, and her granddaughter was over him stabbing him with a knife to his chest area before running out of the house and escaping.

The victim endured one stab wound to the left chest area, one stab wound to his lower right chest area, and one to his left hand. The suspect was arrested at her mother’s house where she reportedly admitted to stabbing her husband. The body is at the Suddie Public Hospital where a postmortem examination will be conducted.
