A Limlair Village, Corentyne farmer last night stabbed his wife to death and later attempted to kill himself. 

Tovanie Simmons, 28, sustained a total of 12 stab wounds. 

Her husband, Imran Lyte, 30,  after committing the act escaped into the backlands, where he attempted to kill himself. He is presently under guard at the Port Mourant Public Hospital.

According to information gathered, Lyte visited Simmons, a mother of four,  around 11 pm to discuss a misunderstanding between his brother and Simmons’ brother on Sunday.

However, an argument erupted during which Lyte whipped out a knife and began to stab Simmons about her upper body.

The woman  jumped from the verandah and ran out to the street where she collapsed.

Lyte then ran after her and slit her throat on the road after which he escaped.  

Simmons was rushed to the New Amsterdam Public Hospital where she was pronounced dead on arrival.

Nehru, I know the Simmons family. Limlair is where I was born before my parent moved to Friendship Village. There are two Kokers separate Limlair and Friendship Villages. My Godbrothers and Sisters (Afros) still occupy my Godparents house in Limlair Village. BTW, Guru fell in Limlair Koker where he injured himself before he went to see his maker. My paternal grandparents and parents have lots of memories in Limlair Village. Limlair is a predominately Afro Village and Friendship is predominately Indo village, but residents of both villages coexisted with each other like family for generations. Unfortunately, there have been changes as time-shifted away from my grandparents days.

Where did his maker live, in Limlair or Friendship?

Guru is known to me and Nehru from Guyana. He visited a few times in NY. He died recently from his injury. His maker could be at Limlair, Friendship, heaven or hell.
