The woman, Denita Mohamed, who almost lost her life two weeks ago because of a beating she received from her husband, noted that while she is fearful, she has to protect her children.
She identified her abuser as Shafeek Mohamed.
The young mother told Guyana Times on Monday that she is constantly being abused by the man with whom she has been with for more than 11 years. As a result of the abuse she received from the hands of her husband, she was forced to leave her marital home and is now staying by her parents with her children.
She noted that despite them being at her parents’ home, whenever the man sees her, he would carry out his threats. She recalled her husband giving her ecstasy pills about two years ago and dealing her a severe beating. This resulted in her lodging a complaint against him with the Police.
He was subsequently arrested and charged for assaulting her. The court had imposed a restraining order against him for two years.

“Nuff time he had cutlass and he would put it in front me and my daughter and then he would hit me in front of the children,” she noted.
The woman further stated that the last fight she had with her husband stemmed from him visiting her home and begging her to return home. After she refused, she was beaten in her parents’ home.
“I nearly die on December 27… he brutally beat me and cut my fingers… bit my nose… damage my face and threaten to kill me, my kids and my parents. If wasn’t for my parents, I would have not been here because they heard me screaming in the house and came out,” she cried.
The distraught woman was almost in tears during the interview with Guyana Times. “I’m so frustrated and worried for my life and my kids’ life,” she stated. Ever since the last incident, he has been in hiding but the young mother believes that his parents are aware of his whereabouts.
A report was made to the Police and they have launched a manhunt for his arrest.
