Man commits suicide after lover reconciles with husband

A HEARTBROKEN man committed suicide moments after he learnt that a married woman, with whom he was involved, had reconciled with her husband. Within half an hour of learning of his girlfriend’s decision, 32-year-old Jainarine Jagoo, of Penal, drank a large volume of a poisonous substance and died mere minutes later. His friends told police that around 7 pm on Saturday, they were liming at a bar in Penal when someone told Jagoo that his girlfriend, who had separated from her husband sometime ago, had reconciled with her husband and moved back to her matrimonial home.

Jagoo reportedly became depressed and asked to be left alone as he walked across to a nearby shed. When he didn’t return, around 7.30 pm, his friends went to the shed where they found him lying on the ground, frothing. A bottle containing a poisonous liquid was found near his body. He died before the EHS paramedics arrived. District Medical Officer, Dr Ian Furlonge viewed the body and ordered its removal to the mortuary of the San Fernando General Hospital where a post-mortem is carded for today. PC Lal of the Penal CID visited the scene and is continuing investigations.
