The suspect in Sunday night’s fatal stabbing at Goedver-wagting, East Coast Deme-rara remains hospitalized after ingesting poison.
Crime Chief Seelall Persaud when contacted yesterday said that based on the reports he received, the man is in a serious condition. The suspect has been identified only as “Alex”.
Allison Bowen a 42-year-old mother of three was stabbed about fourteen times by the man whom she had shared a rocky eight-year relationship with. Her sister Nicole King and one of her twin sons were also wounded in the attack which occurred outside a shop located several houses away from her Lot 1, Goedverwagting address.
King who sustained a wound to the chest is also hospitalized.
Based on the accounts given to Stabroek News, earlier in the day the couple had a misunderstanding during which the man attempted to hit Bowen with a hammer. He later butted her to the forehead resulting in it being left swollen. Bowen reported the incident to the police and visited the Georgetown Hospital where she obtained a medical.
However, when police visited the house to arrest the man he had already left.
He returned later around 8:30 pm and the woman left the house to get King who lived nearby. It was while coming back that the trio had a confrontation during which King questioned the man as to why he was always being abusive to Bowen.
Reports are that the man attempted to force Bowen to eat some rat poison he had in a butter bowl and when she refused to consume it he pulled out a knife and started stabbing her. Relatives said that she was stabbed about fourteen times.
The man fled the scene after the incident and the following morning while walking along Camp Street he spotted the police. As the ranks approached he was seen putting something into his mouth. He was later admitted to the hospital where he fell into an unconscious state.
