‘Lazy’ man stabs father-in-law when asked to move out
Latchman Narine Persaud is hospitalized at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) after he was stabbed to his abdomen by his son-in-law.
The man said that he was attacked when he asked his daughter’s husband to move from his home.
“He living by me for 10 years and not one day he went out to work. He doesn’t make an effort to go out and look for a job,” Persaud said.

According to the farmer, who resides at Vergenoegen, West Coast Demerara, he asked his son-in-law to move from his home Friday afternoon. However, around 07:00 PM, his daughter’s husband ignored his request.
“I see him by the gate and I ask he why he here. I tell him that I don’t want him and when I was going to lock the gate, he plunge on me with the knife and stab me,” Persaud recounted.
He said that the angry man was going to stab him again but ran when he screamed for help.
“It is my only daughter so I tolerated a lot of things with him. He beats her and when I ask her, she would tell me that she fell,” the wounded man stated.
Up to press time Persaud’s son-in-law was still at large.
