Guyanese mother, children detained for murder in French Guiana
Police in French Guiana have arrested a Guyanese woman and her fifteen-year-old daughter, while her 10-year-old son is in the justice detention system.
Dead: Orlando Josiah
The three reportedly stabbed 34-year-old Orlando Josiah to death on Monday during a domestic row in a squatting area located next to a school in their area.
News out of the country suggests that the man was at the time abusing the woman when her children rushed to her aid and attempted to defend her. They reportedly inflicted stab wounds on the suspect who had shared a common law relationship with the woman for some time.
The children also reportedly confessed to carrying out the act, as they say Josiah would usually abuse their mother.
The fight between the two reportedly started after accusations about infidelity were leveled against the woman by the man, and the woman denied same.
Relatives said that the woman stabbed the man to his neck while the children stabbed him in other parts of the body.
Both of the adults are said to be from Guyana with the woman hailing from Timehri and the man somewhere in Georgetown.
The investigations into that matter over in French Guiana are ongoing.
