A Canje woman was remanded to prison yesterday on an attempted murder charge after she allegedly doused her boyfriend with a pot of hot oil on Thursday afternoon at her Gangaram Village, East Canje Berbice, house.
Latoya Angel, 30, a sales girl of Lot 160 Gangaram Village, East Canje, Berbice, appeared at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court yesterday where she was charged with attempting to commit murder on Danny Vannooten, 50.
Angel was not required to plead to the charge and was remanded to prison by Magistrate Peter Hugh.
She will return to court on January 15 for report.
Vannooten, of Leopold Street, Georgetown, was rushed to the New Amsterdam Public Hospital after the woman allegedly dumped an entire pot of hot oil on him while he was lying down on a bed at her house.
Vannooten, who sustained serious burns to his face and shoulders, has since been transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he remains a patient.
Angel also sought medical attention after the incident since she alleged that the man had assaulted her about her body.
