Georgetown : An alleged victim of domestic violence who is said to have recently fled her common-law home in the North West District along with her eight month old toddler, is now being sought by the police for questioning in relation to the murder of her reputed husband Alfro Adams which occurred yesterday at her aunt’s premises at Dredge Creek, Upper Pomeroon River, where the woman and baby were seeking refuge.
Investigations revealed that the 30-year-old suspect and the deceased who is said to be in his early forties, shared a six-year relationship, at Haimarakabra, Moruka, North West District but due to constant abuse by the deceased, especially when intoxicated, the suspect, a craftswoman, moved to her aunt’s home and sought shelter; soon after the alleged abuser followed and was allowed to join her company.
Yesterday about 12:00hrs, the deceased accused the suspect of being unfaithful and dealt her a slap and in an apparent fit of rage, she allegedly stabbed him in the right side chest with a pair of scissors and fled the scene.
The deceased who was a labourer by profession, bled profusely and was rushed to the Charity Hospital where he was treated and admitted but succumbed at 17:00hrs. The body is presently at the Hospital mortuary awaiting a post-mortem examination.
