Jul 27, 2012 News

 

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.
When some of her neighbours alleged that they had seen the teen putting something in the pot, the woman decided to contact the police.
This newspaper was told that after being questioned, the girl admitted that she had ground some rat poison into the meal because the sister had cursed her.
The teen has been detained. Police are to have the meal analyzed.
