One day after chopping his wife, the body of cane harvester, Dexter Yaw, was found on a dam adjacent to the cane fields aback of Annandale, East Coast Demerara, yesterday.
Yaw appeared to have committed suicide, since a bottle with what police suspect to be poison was found next to his body.
Kaieteur News understands that Yaw had attacked his wife with a cutlass on Tuesday. The woman, according to sources, was chopped across her breast and hand. The husband subsequently disappeared before the police arrived at the couple’s Lot 74 Sideline Dam, Buxton house.
Police sources said that the woman had reported that she and her husband had a domestic dispute during which he chopped her on her breast.
He then grabbed a white bottle containing poison that is used to treat wood ants and headed for the cane fields at the back of the village.
Workers from the Guyana Sugar Corporation went into the fields yesterday morning, ready to burn the canes when they stumbled upon Yaw’s body.
“He had to do it some time this (Wednesday) morning,” a Guysuco source told this newspaper.
“If he went in de cane fields, he body woulda get bun up,” the source added.
The police were summoned and they made their way to the canefields where they found Yaw lying on the dam with froth coming from his mouth. He was already dead.
When Kaieteur News visited Yaw’s home yesterday his wife Yonette refused to speak.
“I’m not speaking to anyone,” the woman shouted from a bedroom window.
Seconds later, the woman was heard singing lustily to gospel music which was blaring from a music system in her house.
This newspaper understands that Yaw and his wife had been together for almost 21 years.
Investigations into the incident are continuing.
