A 30-year-old hunter of Kilcoy, Corentyne cold-bloodedly gunned down the husband of his ex-lover around 5:30 pm on Wednesday in a fit of jealousy and police are on the hunt for him.

Ahmad Razack, a 49-year-old cane harvester of ‘Kilcoy Front’ sustained a single gunshot wound to his right ear at close range and appeared to have died instantly. The suspect’s wife and father are in police custody assisting with investigations.

She said “all I hear is a loud noise and at the same time me hear me husband shout ‘Bee’ [her nickname] and when me turn around me see me he fall to the ground. Smoke was coming out of his ear
