A 42-year-old Matu­ra man died af­ter he re­port­ed­ly in­gest­ed a poi­so­nous sub­stance, af­ter he was con­front­ed about al­le­ga­tions that he sex­u­al­ly as­sault­ed a sev­en-year-old girl.

Po­lice said Bren­don Ram­lo­gan was con­front­ed by the moth­er of the girl, who he knew well, about the al­leged as­sault, which led to a fight at Fran­cis Trace, Matu­ra, on Sun­day.

How­ev­er, af­ter the scuf­fle, Ram­lo­gan went in­to hid­ing.

On Mon­day af­ter­noon, Ram­lo­gan was found ly­ing in the front yard of a rel­a­tive’s home in Saly­bia Vil­lage. Fam­i­ly mem­bers took him to the San­gre Grande Hos­pi­tal and were met by an am­bu­lance along the way.

He died hours lat­er while be­ing treat­ed.

A team of po­lice vis­it­ed the scene and are con­tin­u­ing in­quiries.
