The 42-year-old man who reportedly ingested a poisonous substance a day after he allegedly stabbed his reputed wife to death and wounded her sister was yesterday discharged from the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
The man, Alex Douglas, swallowed the poison Monday morning as he was being pursued by a policeman to whom he was pointed out by a relative of the woman he is suspected to have killed last Sunday night.

Forty-one-year-old Allison Bowen was stabbed to death around 23:00 hrs on Sunday at her Goedverwagting, East Coast Demerara home. The dead woman’s sister, Nicole King, is currently hospitalized at GPHC. She is said to be in a stable condition.
Upon his discharge, Douglas was accompanied by policemen to the Sparendaam Station. He will most likely appear at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court today.
