Wanita Heralall, the young woman who was brutally chopped about her body by her estranged husband, is recovering slowly at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPHC), with her next surgery scheduled for Monday.
The 31-year-old mother of five disclosed that the bones between her shoulder and elbow on her left hand were broken. She highlighted that though the healing process has begun, the bones are healing deformedly, and so surgery is needed to break the bones and reset them.
It was on July 31 that Heralall left her home in Liang Avenue, Georgetown, to commence her usual market shopping. At the market, she bumped into her ex-husband, 38-year-old Ishwar Heralall, also known as “Buckman” of Anna Regina New Housing Scheme, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam), Essequibo Coast.
In his company was her youngest child, who refused to speak to her. She accepted this and indicated to “Buckman” that she wanted no

problems with him.
He left but subsequently returned as Heralall was approaching the bicycle she rode to the market. He then grabbed her left hand and requested that she speak to him.
When she refused to, “Buckman” dealt her several chops about her hand, and her head.
Meanwhile, in a bid to escape, he tried running through the crowd, only to be captured and dealt a thorough beating before being turned over to the ranks at the Ruimveldt Police Station.
Heralall told Guyana Times that she has been married to “Buckman” for 12 years and endured domestic abuse for the sake of her children.
However, she noted that it became unbearable and she fled from their Essequibo home in October of 2015 and came to Georgetown, where she now resides with her reputed partner Dharmindra Phagoo.
Heralall was admitted to the GPHC on Sunday after the incident left her with an almost severed arm.
Meanwhile “Buckman” was charged in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts for unlawfully and maliciously wounded Wanita Heeralall, with intent to commit murder.
He was released on $600,000 bail and ordered to stay away from the VC and report to the Officer in Charge of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID). Heralall was also instructed to lodge his passport with the court.
