Man goes into hiding after giving daughter poison

A Black Bush Polder man who gave his daughter poison after beating her for money and accusing her of knowing that his wife was unfaithful to him has gone into hiding.
Kaieteur News understands that on April 27, around 15:00 hours the 13-year-old child Lesbeholden, Black Bush Polder was at home while her mother was in their kitchen garden.
At around the same time the accused returned home and demanded money from the child to buy rum. She refused and the man proceeded to beat her.
After collecting the money he carried her into the kitchen and poured about a cork full of Gramaxone and forced the child to drink, having accused her of knowing that her mother was unfaithful.
The child drank about half the cork of poison and subsequently collapsed and was rushed to the Mibicuri Hospital where she was admitted.
However on Thursday her condition worsened and she was transferred to the New Amsterdam Hospital.
Hospital authorities then called the police and informed them of the situation. The police have since been on the hunt for the suspect, who has not yet been arrested.
