Man who slashed girlfriend’s throat nabbed in Berbice
Twenty-five-year-old Ryan Singh, who alleged killed his teenaged girlfriend last month, was apprehended by Police in Springlands, Berbice on Tuesday.

Police disclosed that the man was caught around 11:30h in an abandoned house in Springlands on Tuesday and was charged with the capital offence.
Reports were that the duo reportedly met on Facebook and they subsequently started living together.
Guyana Times had been told that the relationship commenced before the young girl turned 16. Neighbours said they had made numerous complaints to Lakhpal’s mother that Singh was abusing her daughter when they were alone. However, the teen denied that the abuse was happening.
On the day that the 16-year-old met her demise, Singh and the teen were arguing over his lack of interest in finding a job. Lakhpal had however started babysitting her neighbours’ children on the day of the argument with Singh. The children then ran back home to their mother and complained of the fight.
The accused was reportedly angered by her “nagging” and this resulted in him slitting her throat, leaving her in a pool of blood. An eyewitness had related that the girl’s face was partly covered with a pillow as she lay on a carpet on the floor with her neck slashed in the vicinity of a tattoo. He then reportedly flung the knife

Singh was on the run until Tuesday when he was captured. He will soon be arraigned for Lakhpal’s murder.
Singh has also been implicated in an incident where he almost killed a previous girlfriend, after stabbing her over 50 times about her body. It was claimed that the 25-year-old was never arrested for that allegation.
