Mohamed’s Enterprises reaches out to woman accused of killing husband

Thirty-two-year-old Sandra Brescenio, a housewife of Cannaballi Village, Region One (Barima-Waini) who was charged for killing her abusive husband was released from Police custody after several organisations, including Mohamed Enterprises, posted her bail.

The woman, who told the court that she acted in self-defence, was granted bail in the sum of $300,000 by Magistrate Dylon Bess last Friday. However, the woman was unable to post bail. in Several news articles highlighting this fact went viral and caught the attention of the owner of Mohamed Enterprises, Nazar Mohamed.
Speaking with Guyana Times, the prominent businessman explained that his heart bled when he read the news article and without hesitation, he reached out to the United Bridge Builders Mission (UBBM), a local Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) to pledge his support.
He noted he has worked in several interior locations and can attest to the fact that many young Amerindian women were mistreated by their spouses on a regular basis. He noted that he was not denying the fact that a life was lost, but based on what he read, the mother of four who is expecting her fifth child acted in self-defence.

“This particular touched me and I, we have decided to assist… we have done our part to make sure that the woman is out of prison and is at home with her children,” Mohamed stated.
He further stated that they have done lots of charitable work, but this was the first time they have done something of this nature.
Nevertheless, the NGO’s founder, Bonita Montaque stated that they were able to secure accommodation for the woman.
She stated that any other donations or pledge received would be channelled to the woman’s four children who were currently residing with their maternal grandmother as well as into the family’s reintegration into a new environment since the expecting mother shared concerns over returning to the house where the incident occurred.
Following the incident, the woman was left traumatised, hence forcing the NGO to provide counselling that has been completed. It was revealed that the young mother has a passion for sewing.
Brescenio appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts last Friday before Magistrate Dylon Bess and was not required to plead to the charge which stated that on April 14, 2020, she killed her 35-year-old partner, Clarence Williams.
It was reported that the now dead man had threatened to push Brescenio into a fire, which resulted in a heated argument, during which the man choked her.
It is alleged that Brescenio was cleaning fish at the time and used the said knife to stab Williams twice to the groin. The injured man reportedly went to bed and was later discovered dead.
The pregnant woman is expected to make her next court appearance on July 7 at the Acquero Magistrate’s Court.
