Man who chopped ex-girlfriend, fiancé still at large

Police have confirmed that the hunt is still on for the Grove, East Bank Demerara (EBD) man, who chopped his ex-girlfriend and her fiancé on Monday last.
Twenty-four-year-old Ricky Singh, of Lot 23 F Land Stelling, Grove, EBD, reportedly attacked the couple while they were asleep with their child.
It was reported that the man entered the couple’s bedroom and stood over them with a cutlass. The woman was awakened by screams from her younger brother

Accused: Rickey Singh

only to see Singh standing over her with the cutlass.
The frightened woman screamed but Singh reportedly ‘fired’ a chop at the baby, but this was barred by the 20-year-old woman who was ultimately chopped to her hands. By this time, the man woke up and he too was attacked and chopped to his head, forehead, and waist but not before putting up a fight.
Singh, nevertheless, escaped and the injured couple were rushed to the Diamond hospital where they were treated and subsequently discharged.
The attack reportedly stemmed from the fact that the young woman had ended a seven-month abusive relationship with Singh.
