Georgetown: Police are on the hunt for a jealous lover who stabbed his 24-year-old ex-girlfriend to death Wednesday night at Supenaam Public Road, Essequibo Coast.

Dead: Lunisa Peters

Dead is Lunisa Peters of Lot 97 Supenaam Public Road and formally of Golden Fleece, Essequibo Coast.

She was stabbed about the body and head and was pronounced dead on arrival at the Suddie Public Hospital.

Police recovered a knife and a rolling pin with bloodstains at the scene. The suspect is of Golden Fleece Essequibo Coast. The incident occurred at around 23:30h.

Reports indicate that Peters and the suspect had a common law relationship and lived together until they separated and she moved out of the Golden Fleece home and moved to her aunt’s house at Supenaam.

It is alleged that the suspect visited the aunt’s house Wednesday night and was invited inside; he and Peters were sitting in a chair when her phone rang and she answered.

He then snatched Peters by her hair and dragged her into the kitchen where he grabbed a knife, took her to the bathroom and dealt her several stab wounds.

Peter’s aunt heard the commotion, raised an alarm after which the suspect ran out the house and escaped.

Checks were made for suspect but he wasn’t found. Investigations are ongoing.
