How many people die in this country due to domestic problem which is fuel by alcohol? People please understand what is social drinking and abusive drinking. Almost every news published here related to alcohol incident ended up with someone dead. Is this the only option to solved domestic problems?
It’s MURDER Plain and simple
Guyana needs the death penalty and also less night clubs and drinking parlors. I am so ashamed of my country which has lawlessness on the land by both arm services and civilians. Where are the priests and churches. People are living as if there is no God. Devastation will take place in this country if people continue living without any remorse or respect for life.
Iwant to agree with charles i think guyanese need JESUS in their lives
