A 13-year-old girl has reportedly confessed to mixing rat poison into a meal of corned beef in an attempt to poison her sister. The teen reportedly mixed the deadly concoction on Wednesday night after a quarrel with her 20-year-old sibling.
Kaieteur News understands that the girl lives at Mahaicony, East Coast Demerara, with her elder sister and the woman’s husband and a small child.
According to reports, the elder sister left the house after cooking a meal of corned beef.  When she returned she took a small portion of the meal and became suspicious when it tasted bitter.
