This is sad, indeed. If the woman took stress to kill herself, it means her lost valuables was her life savings. Mother and daughter are now dead and the money couldn't save them. 

Chief, come in. This is your village in Guyana.

Crabwoodcreek is adjoining to our Town, Corriverton.

Suicide is definitely out of control in Guyana and a lot of work need to be done to try to prevent this epidemic. The last official figures that was released on suicide some years ago indicated that the majority of victims are Indians who are Hindus.

I spoke with Pandit Suresh Sugrim who along with his brother Dr Sugrim were running a shelter at Port Mourant, he mentioned that suicide prevention is a topic they regularly lecture about.

Very sad.

The economic hardship under the AFC/PNC is now taking it's toll. Poor Indo Guyanese are being economically pressured to pawn their gold.

This has nothing to do with politics.  These people are mentally disturbed

These people are mentally disturbed[Not quite so. I think the mother felt desperate and helpless and rashly reached for the poison. The daughter probably got a panic attack which, coupled with guilt, made her drink the remainder of the poison. Of course, I'm just speculating and could be wrong. Not mental illness though.] 

It is sad to see both mother and daughter go in this way. Probably the stress of being a single parent.

Coolie people for decades think drinking poison is the way out. Nothing has changed in the society there. 

Clearly the Indians in Guyana don't feel that life is worthwhile living under the PNC. After losing corn and husk, they killed themselves as there is no hope of climbing out of this hole under the Granger administration and its destructive economic policies that target Indians for harassment. 

This is a symbol of where the East Indian people of Guyana is going.

Stop blaming the govt Drugb. Even under the PPP Indians were drinking poison.  It is useless to try and educate some of these people. They have their own mentality about life

When white people want to commit suicide, they take a whole bottle of pain killer or go in a garage, start the car and close the door. Guyanese people love rope and poison. Does these people care who will foot the expense to bury them? 

I know a con man and a con woman who threatened suicide on many occasions when they want overseas money. One day the old lady fed up and told them to buy their coffins before committing suicide. That was the last time they ever bother the old lady for money.

You miss the point, under PPP there was hope for bouncing back from financial ruin. Today under the PNC there is no hope.  The mother saw no hope of rebounding from the financial loss.

Yugi seems mentally disturbed to make such a foolish statement.

Sure, it wasn't nonsense when you folks blamed the PPP for suicide during 23 years of rule. Now you give Granger et al a free ride, no accountability.

Go back and read the posts RIGHT HERE ON GNI when the AFC/PNC were pinning suicides on the PPP.

Folks, I don't usually agree with Chief, but I agree with him on this one. Suicide is a social issue. Government may tend to blame each other to gain political mileage, but suicide remains social a issue. Stop throwing water on duck's back.

Why don't you address the claims of the afc/pnc when in opposition that the PPP was responsible for suicides? You giving Chiefy a free pass here as amnesia steps in on many of you. 

Where is suicide man Tola?

I was thinking of Tola.

He had the stats on suicide  by Guyanese Indians.

Why Tola? What one man can do to stop the suicide epidemic across Guyana? Tola need someone to save him if you ask me.

Tola was working with the poor and underprivileged in Guyana.
