GDF rank brutally stabs, chops fianceé in jealous rage

A West Berbice (WCB), Region Five (Mahaica-Berbice) mother is hospitalised after being stabbed and chopped by her partner.
Injured is Leticia Reynolds of Number 30 Village, WCB. Reports are that the 23-year-old housewife was stabbed several times and chopped to her neck on Friday evening.
The incident took place at her home and the suspect is her fiancé – a 26-year-old corporal with the Guyana Defence Force (GDF). The couple lived together.
Police said Reynolds lives with her five-year-old son and the GDF soldier. The corporal is stationed at Camp Ayanganna, Georgetown.
Reports are that on Friday evening the soldier went home at around 17:50h and accused Reynolds of permitting her son’s father to visit during his absence. She acknowledged the visit but told him that there was no interaction between her and him.

In a release the police said the corporal became furious and grabbed a knife from the kitchen, and held it to her neck, he then allegedly instructed her son to leave the premises, to which the child complied.
The soldier then proceeded to stab Reynolds multiple times on the left side of her face, below her left eye, on her finger, and in her right abdomen. Fearing for her life, she attempted to evade him by running around the house.
The angered man then picked up a cutlass from the kitchen and inflicted a chop wound to the woman’s neck, resulting in significant bleeding before fleeing the scene.
The injured woman sought help from a relative who took her to Fort Wellington Public Hospital. She was subsequently later transferred to New Amsterdam Public Hospital for further medical care.
Meanwhile, police said that the corporal subsequently walked into the Weldaad Police Station, identified himself as Philon Edwards and admitted that he had wounded the Reynolds. He was arrested and placed in custody. An investigation has been launched. (G4)
