Police in Guyana have arrested a woman who had attempted to kill her nine-year-old daughter and herself after her boyfriend said he wanted to end the relationship.
Police said the unidentified woman had attempted to commit the crime after the boyfriend called them "wastes.”
It was reported that last Sunday, after the man left the house, the woman called her daughter and told her that her father was already dead and her stepfather did not want them, before she wounded the girl.
The child was seen by a doctor who described her condition as stable.
The mother of the child was contacted at her home by investigators and was discovered with a chop wound to her left arm.
