Man poisoned with insecticide by step-son

Police suspect that a resident of Sittee River Village may have been poisoned by his step son. Fifty-six year old Herman Foster reported to the cops that about midday on Tuesday, his stepson Luis Assi arrived home and gave him a bottle of juice. Foster said that after taking two mouthfuls of the juice, he felt dizzy and started to experience abdominal pains, diarrhea and vomiting and he was taken to the hospital the following morning for medical treatment. The tests indicated that the juice was mixed with the insecticide, Malathion. Foster was later admitted in stable condition and the juice was ceased for forensic analysis. Police are currently on the lookout for Assi.
