A Mahaica resident, who allegedly terrorized his neighbour on Wednesday, turned himself into police at the Mahaica Police Station, yesterday.
The man, who allegedly indiscriminately discharged his licensed firearm, remained in custody up to late yesterday afternoon.
According to reports, the man’s firearm has been temporarily confiscated by police who have launched an investigation into last Tuesday’s incident.
It is alleged that on the day in question terrified neighbours were forced to hide under their beds as the man fired about seven shots from his weapon, while threatening to kill them.

She said that the man accused them of telling his wife about another woman in the village.
