Anns Grove murder/suicide: Family praying for injured woman to survive

Family members of Sharon Scott, who was brutally chopped and set on fire by her husband moments after he killed their only son at their Anns Grove, East Coast Demerara (ECD) home on Wednesday, are hoping that the woman survives the attack.

Police stated hours after the incident that the woman was in a stable condition and was recovering but family members told this publication that based on their observation, the woman’s condition is deteriorating.
“While I will say that she might be coming around, I don’t know if she will make it, but we are keeping our fingers crossed and hoping that she pulls through so that when she comes out, she will be able to tell me exactly what really happened that night. She is the only body that I can get the truth from,” a relative said.
The relative said that while there are different versions of the incident which occurred on Wednesday morning, Scott is the only one who knows exactly what occurred.

“She is the only one that can say the truth,” the relative said.
Scott was chopped and set on fire by her 57-year-old husband, Leon Bobb, who also killed their only son, 21-year-old Seon Scott.
Bobb later died by suicide.
It was reported that Bobb went berserk and chopped his son to death in his sleep, and then turned the blade on his wife, chopping her to the neck and lighting her on fire.

Police said that the now dead man and his wife had an ongoing domestic dispute, in which he accused the woman of having affairs. Bobb reportedly physically assaulted his wife on several occasions, causing their son to intervene in a bid to save his mother.
However, on Wednesday morning, it is suspected that the man killed his son while he was asleep to prevent him from going to the rescue of his mother.
Police said when they responded to the scene, the young security guard was found lying motionlessly on a mattress. A large wound was seen on the left side of his neck.
The suspect was then found lying on a blood-soaked bed in a room, with a large wound to his abdomen and his intestines protruding, and one to his neck. He was taken to the hospital but later died. (G9)
