A boat captain took his own life yesterday after reportedly wounding a Riverview, Ruimveldt woman, who rejected his demands for a relationship with her 14-year-old daughter.
Police said Jeffrey Narine, 52, of La Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara, stabbed himself in the neck with a knife when he saw lawmen approaching him at a shop where he retreated after his attack on the woman.
In a statement, the Guyana Police Force said Narine, who had been armed with two cutlasses and a knife, had wounded the woman at her Riverview home around 1pm.
