Man who allegedly burnt sister with ‘boiling rice’ arrested
– Sibling remains in hospital
The man who allegedly threw a pot of boiling rice on his older sister before beating her on the head repeatedly with the pot the rice was being cooked in, has been arrested, while his sibling remains hospitalised.
Wounded: Natasha Younge
The 33-year-old woman, Natasha Younge, of Lot 29 East La Penitence, Georgetown, sustained burns to her neck, head, hands and abdomen.
She is currently a patient in the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation’s Burns Care Unit.
She was wounded around 13:30 hrs on Tuesday last in her backyard. The siblings share the same place of abode.
Yesterday, Kaieteur News was told that ranks were able to apprehend the suspect shortly after the incident was reported.
Younge, a mother of three, is said to be in a stable condition.
According to information reaching this newspaper, Younge and her brother got into an argument early Tuesday and he allegedly chased her out of the house with a knife. It is unclear what the argument was about, however, the matter was reported to the police.
“The police went by the house for him but he wasn’t there. Natasha went to school to pick up her son and when she come back he (suspect) went by the door and she told him that the police looking for him,” Faith Demonick, a relative, explained.
She added that the siblings again got into a heated argument.
“He started to curse her. He said, ‘girl what happened to you’ and he threatened to bore her and she told him not to touch her because she is 33 years and he is younger, and then he said ‘you want people come and collect your body’,” the relative noted.
Kaieteur News was told that Younge walked away and went to the back of the yard to pick up her clothes from the line when her brother picked up the rice pot from the stove and ran behind his sister.
“He push her down and throw the hot rice in her head and on her skin and then he took the pot and started hitting her in her head. I had to run and get a relative to come and pull him off from her,” Demonick said.
The woman added that Younge’s brother was still in the house when they rushed her to the hospital where she remains a patient.
He will be charged soon.
