In an early morning rampage, an Ann’s Grove, East Coast Demerara farmer chopped his sleeping son to death, before launching an attack on his common-law wife, who he wounded and burned, before ending his own life.
Dead are 57-year-old Leon Bobb and his son 21-year-old Seon Scott, of Lot 24 Middle Walk, Ann’s Grove, while 53-year-old Sharon Scott is hospitalised with wounds and burns about her body. Up to press time her condition was listed as stable.
Mourning family members said Bobb chopped Seon to death while he was asleep. He then chopped Sharon several times about her body, drenched her in gasoline and set her ablaze. He then ingested a poisonous substance, cut himself in the abdomen and also set himself ablaze.
