Berbice stabbing: Wanted man says ex-girlfriend attacked him 1st in Facebook broadcast

Two days after a 31-year-old father of two went berserk and chopped the mother of his children in the face, he has finally broken his silence but remains on the run.
Initially, 23-year-old Rezana Rahaman, a vendor at the Corriverton Municipal Market, had reported that she and the suspect shared a relationship for eight years but separated two years ago. Despite both of them moving on with their lives, he continued to stalk her and send threatening messages.
On Sunday, she was informed that the suspect was looking for her the entire day but she paid no heed.
However, at about 11:40h on Sunday, she was hanging out with friends at a bar when the suspect appeared and informed her that he had left his motorcycle at her house and wanted to collect it.
She said she left the location with the suspect and went to get the motorcycle. During their encounter, she reiterated her stance that she did not want anything to do with him but this led to an argument during which he whipped out a knife and chopped her in the face.
He then left the scene and was not seen since. However, in a video via his Facebook page on Thursday, the wanted man accused the injured woman of attacking him first.

“The day I call she and she said she deh at 63 Beach and I tell she I want to drop my son motorcycle. She then call me back and tell me she deh at Moto Bar and I went there and we were there drinking. While we drinking, I ask she where is my children and she said that she left them pickney by she sister. From there, we left and we went season breeze and while she was dancing, she give me one cuff and buss me mouth and ask me why I watching a next girl.”
“Me and she left and we went to collect them kids…we bring them kids home. Me and she went in the house, and I turn and tell she why she partying every night and leaving them kids alone every night… that was a problem and she start fight and cuss me and tell me that I was watching some woman and that she get something to give me.”
The man recalled that in the heat of the argument, Rahaman whipped out a knife and attempted to stab him about his body.
“She took the knife and cut me to my chest, and while scuffling, me and she fall to the ground, and I tried to pull the knife away from she and I didn’t know the knife cut she face. I will never do something like that to my wife… She cheated on me while we was married and I never do her that, so why should I do that to her now? It was an accident.”
“I cannot beat Rezana; Rezana does beat me. She leave my kids alone home and go and party. It is not easy… all she saying that’s a lie. I was right there with her in the house. I will surrender myself, but I want people to know the story,” he said.
The man said since the incident, he has been receiving several threats from persons, even though the woman knows that he did not intentionally hurt her.
“You told the whole world lies on me but my kids need me to love them. I rather die and you live just for my kids.”
Up until press time on Friday, the suspect was yet to be apprehended.
