Looks like the gun amnesty was not as successful as the govt claimed.

at Pike Street, Kitty and discovered a male under her bed.
Dead are Mark Moses and his reputed wife Amanda Mohan.
According to reports reaching Guyana Times, 25-year-old Moses of One Mile, Wismar, Linden, went to visit Mohan at her Lot 248 Pike Street home about 21:30h on Tuesday and found a male under her bed. Reports stated that he left the home, but returned about 04:30h with a gun and shot Mohan twice to the chest before turning the gun on himself.
The two were rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital where 20-year-old Mohan was pronounced dead on arrival. Moses succumbed to his injuries some seven hours later.
According to information received, the young miner works in the interior and made a surprise visit to his reputed wife’s house, where he found an employee attached to Guyana Power and Light (GPL) Company hiding under the bed.
However, relatives of the dead woman are holding out that the person under the bed was actually a family friend and Moses might have misunderstood what he saw. The gentleman was reportedly in the woman’s bedroom playing games on her laptop when Moses entered the house, this newspaper was told.
Ryan Mohan, brother of the now deceased woman, said that Moses turned up at the house unannounced and as he went into his reputed wife’s bedroom, he realised something was amiss since she was breathing heavily.
Guyana Times was told that Moses enquired why Mohan was breathing heavily but she did not respond, prompting him to search the room.
This newspaper was told that Moses allowed the man to leave the house after which he reportedly pulled out a gun and

threatened to shoot Mohan. Mohan’s brother told this newspaper that his sister attempted to explain the situation to Moses, telling him that the young man was a family friend and her sister hid him under the bed so not to cause a misunderstanding.
The brother went on to say that Moses left the house although the mother of his child begged him to stay. He, however, returned at 04:30h and shot Mohan then himself.
Mohan’s brother said he heard the shots and ran to his sister’s bedroom where he saw her lying in a pool of blood, while Moses was lying on the bed. Moses, he noted, was panting for breath, but his sister, from all indications, was already dead.
He, along with a friend, picked up the couple and rushed them to the Georgetown Public Hospital where his sister was pronounced dead and the young man was taken into theatre for surgery but subsequently died at 11:00h.
At the home of the dead woman, relatives congregated to comfort the grieving family.
An uncle of the dead woman, who gave his name only as Farouk, said that he was in his apartment when he heard three gunshots and immediately rushed to the upper flat of the house where he saw his niece and Moses lying in a pool of blood.  As he looked closer, he said, he saw a gun on the bed.
He added that the family was in shock at the manner in which Moses handled the situation.
Meanwhile, attempts to contact the relatives of the dead man proved futile. The Police have launched an investigation into the matter. An unlicensed .9mm pistol and three spent shells were recovered at the scene.
