Woman in fear as ex-cop ex-boyfriend threatens to kill her, attacks relative

A 42-year-old Guyanese national residing in America is currently in fear of returning home after her ex-boyfriend on Sunday brutally attacked her stepfather leaving him hospitalised.

In an interview with Guyana Times on Monday Simmone Williams detailed how she has been threatened and tormented by her ex-boyfriend, since their relationship ended in June last year. The woman revealed that she and Paddy had separated due to infidelity among other issues.
“And when I got back to America, it’s not only that, you know, the confusion he was causing in my family, financial things to where is that, you know, he has a job and he’s not going to work he’s fighting depression from since childhood, his mother doesn’t support his music career all these things… and I was like, you know what? I can’t do this anymore I have to choose me in the end and I have to choose my piece of mind.”
The woman further revealed that after she had parted ways with the man, who is an ex-cop, things took a turn for the worst. She highlighted that since June last year her ex has been constantly threatening her and her family in an attempt to reconcile their relationship. However, the woman told this publication that she is adamant about not going back into a relationship with the young man.
“It’s when I broke it off with him that’s when I started seeing all his different patterns and I refuse to go back because that wouldn’t be healthy for me as a woman. I received messages from him threatening me and my family saying I better not come back to Guyana or else he’s going to kill me and my family things of that sort.”
Frustrated and tired of the constant harassment, Williams told this publication that she had reached out to his relatives for help, noting that she resides overseas and does not have full control over the situation.
“I live here in the States so I didn’t know how I go by contacting Guyana Police so I reached out to the family so the family could try and get him some help because that’s the closest thing to him. His brother said to cease all communication. So, I blocked him on social media. Sometimes I’m at work and I am getting like 15 to 20 phone calls back-to-back. If I don’t answer the phone, he will go and use his mother phone to call. I ended up blocking her as well. It’s not like if, you know, I’m leading him on.”
However, in an unfortunate turn of events the woman revealed that the man had recently taken things to another level. On Sunday her stepfather, Godfrey Sutherland was brutally attacked by her ex, who dealt him several blows with a cutlass at his Better Hope, East Coast Demerara (ECD) home leaving the elderly man hospitalised.
“So, he started off with Godfrey because to be honest with you, when he was working in town, he stayed by my mom house. He stayed with Godfrey. So, he knows when he leaves to go to the farm and he knows what time he comes back… And what he did, he hid in the yard and he hit Godfrey behind his head and then he started chopping him and he took a chair and put it over his head.”
In light of Sunday’s event, the woman revealed that she is afraid to travel back home to visit her family. A report has since been made to the police.
