Child mother kills Plaisance man during quarrel

Thirty-eight-year-old Victor Roberts died after being stabbed to the region of the heart by his reputed wife at their Lot 41 Prince Williams Street, Plaisance East Coast Demerara home.

When Kaieteur News visited the scene, the woman had already been taken into custody and Roberts had already been pronounced dead at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation and placed in the hospital’s morgue. One neighbor said that he heard the couple arguing. He didn’t pay much attention, since the couple often had arguments from time to time. The neighbors claim, Roberts left the house and headed in the direction of the Plaisance Line Top, the neighbour assumed that it was to ‘cool his head’. The man said at around 45 minutes later, Roberts returned to find that someone had destroyed some items that he sold in a shop.

Roberts allegedly struck his reputed wife and the two began to fight. It is alleged that Roberts struck his partner with a pipe. The scuffle continued for about another ten minutes, after which the woman was heard sobbing. One neighbour went over to the shop to find the woman standing over Roberts while pressing a bloody towel on his chest. Roberts was also clutching the towel. The woman, in desperation, also applied Limacol and water to the wounded man’s face. The police came, and an ambulance subsequently arrived and took Roberts to the hospital where he later succumbed. Roberts’s partner was taken into custody, but police later returned to the scene with the suspect. The ranks also took a kitchen knife from the scene.
