A 45-year-old man has been ar­rest­ed fol­low­ing a shoot­ing at his Cou­va home that ini­tial­ly ap­peared to be a rob­bery but was lat­er re­vealed to be a do­mes­tic dis­pute.

Around 8:35 pm on Mon­day, Syd­ney Singh, a dou­bles ven­dor, told po­lice that an un­known armed man en­tered his home at Fire Sta­tion Road, an­nounced a hold-up, and shot his com­mon-law wife, 48-year-old Kam­nee Thack­ur­deen.

But dur­ing fur­ther ques­tion­ing, Singh al­leged­ly ad­mit­ted the in­ci­dent stemmed from an ar­gu­ment be­tween the cou­ple.
