to death before ending his own life by consuming a poisonous substance. Dead are Alisha Narine, 36, and Ram Singh, who according to police reports, ingested a poisonous substance after committing the heinous act. The police confirmed that Singh died while under guard at the Number 75 Village Hospital, Corentyne.

The shocking ordeal unfolded at the Vishal Singh Sawmill compound at Crabwood Creek, where the couple lived. Speaking to Kaieteur News, Meena Narine, 38, sister of the now dead woman, related that “this morning, my cousin from New York called her, and he (Singh) was behind her, and he turned and tell my cousin that he’s gonna kill her.” The threat was made while Singh brandished a cutlass, as he ordered Narine to cut the call, the sister recounted. Not long after, her cousin contacted her and quickly updated her on the disturbing details, but according to her, while she was still on the phone with him, Alisha’s 18-year-old daughter, Felisha, received a call which detailed that her mother was heard screaming. By the time they arrived at the sawmill, the mother of two was already dead.

Police reports said Singh was found in a trench where he was arrested, cautioned and taken to the hospital. The dead woman’s sister divulged that for all the years the couple was together, Alisha suffered endless physical abuse at the hands of Singh. “He always ill-treats her, beat her, threaten her. Last couple months (ago) he threatened she in the market and tried to jook she up right in front of everybody and the security guard in the market catch he and he was four months in prison.
