A Vreed-en-hoop man is facing attempted murder charges after he was arrested on Wednesday night for reportedly trying to kill his wife.

According to reports the businessman, Narine Balram who operates a Gift Centre and Flower Shop on Water Street in Georgetown went home in a drunken rage on Wednesday night and accused his wife, Diane Balram of stealing $9.3 Million from him.

Police sources said the woman arrived home just after her husband and was followed to the couple’s room by the man who slammed her against a wall and whipped out his firearm and fired shots at her.

The gunshots narrowly missed the woman and she managed to escape from the house even as he started to kick her and fire more gunshots behind her as she ran out of the house.

An investigation has been launched by the Police and the man who may now be sober, remains in custody.
