Two days after a 32-year-old housewife of Richmond Housing Scheme, Essequibo Coast, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam), reportedly stabbed her reputed husband, the Police are yet to arrest her for the crime.

The injured man lying on the ground on Saturday evening

The woman was accused of stabbing her 42-year-old husband, Dhanpaul Ramotar, after he reportedly complained about her father’s behaviour towards him.
The stabbing incident occurred at the couple’s Lot 260 Richmond Housing Scheme home on Saturday between 18:00h and 19:00h.
It was reported that on the day in question, the couple were consuming alcohol when Ramotar confronted his wife and expressed his dissatisfaction with her father’s attitude towards him.
An argument subsequently ensued between them, thus resulting in the woman arming herself with a knife and stabbing Ramotar to both sides of his back before making good her escape.
The labourer was picked up by public-spirited citizens and rushed to the Suddie Hospital, where he was admitted. His condition is listed as stable.
A resident told Guyana Times that the couple have shared a common-law union for the past six years and lived with their two children at the said address.
Moreover, the resident said that the couple lived an abusive lifestyle. “The two of them usually drink rum, and then it would get violent, but I never expected that she would have done something like that.”
Further, an eyewitness said that the children witnessed the entire ordeal and were now scared.
When contacted, Regional Police Commander, Superintendent Crystal Robinson stated that the Police have launched a manhunt for the woman.
