– then takes her to hospital
A woman is now hospitalised after being brutally stabbed by the father of her son who accused her of being unfaithful.
Maria Ward, 21, of North Haslington, East Coast Demerara (ECD), was admitted to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) early yesterday morning suffering from a slash to her throat and three stab wounds to her body, including one to her left temple.
Relatives last evening said that while the woman is talking, her condition is considered serious and she was expected to undergo surgery last night on the stab wound to her temple. According to doctors there is some internal bleeding as a result of the wound. Relatives also said the wound is affecting the sight in her left eye.
The young woman’s shocked relatives said that they received a called early yesterday morning informing them that Ward had been attacked by the man, who practically lives at the young woman’s home. The man, Christopher Haynes also called ‘Clint’ and ‘Mark Anthony,’ is now in police custody.
Relating the incident to this newspaper, as was told to her by Ward, a female relative said that the two had travelled to Georgetown where they limed with relatives and friends on the seawall.
It was not until around 2 am yesterday that they arrived at Golden Grove ECD and they were on their way to the man’s home when the attack occurred. “She said when they reach at the back of the market he put down the box of food he had in he hand on a stand and say he want to pee. But then he walk up to she and slam she head into the concrete post,” the relative said. She said the young woman related that she fell to the ground and momentarily lost consciousness until she felt him slashing her throat. “She said she get up and hold she throat and start running down the road to he home where he mother live and she call out to them for help and he sister come and ask she wah happen and she say ‘come see wha you brother do to me.’ She said the sister come and peep out and went in back and then the mother come and peep out and she went in back too,” the relative said.
By this time, Haynes had caught up with Ward and he dragged her to an empty lot nearby where he stabbed her three times. Her clothes were bloodied by then and the young man stripped her and went to his home, where he got a jersey and a short pants belonging to him, and he dressed her in them. He then lifted her and took her the main road where he got a taxi and transported her to the GPH. “She said while in the car, he tell she not to tell people at the hospital is he do it but tell them how she get attack and she call he and he come and assist,” the relative said.
At the hospital, the woman said, that was the story he told the police at the outpost and “he was kissing her up and thing but when she went into emergency she tell dem what really happen and dem arrest he.” Haynes is reportedly still maintaining that he was called to the woman’s aid and he denied ever attacking her. He is in custody at the Cove and John Police Station. He took investigators to the scene of the incident and again repeated his story. The couple has a two-year-old son.
Relatives of the young woman were last evening angry at the way Haynes’s mother and sister treated the incident. “He coulda kill her and them ent do nothing to help she,” the relative said. They said the young woman told them that before the attack the man accused her of being unfaithful and from indications his actions were premeditated.
They said that Ward reported that Haynes had hit her before and that she had complained several time to his mother. The relative said that Haynes has clothes at Ward’s home and many nights he would sleep over, so he was “actually living with she.”
Haynes, a mason by profession, was expected to leave the country yesterday morning to take up a job on a ship.
thank God she is alive, and I hope she is not permanently maimed. what’s wrong with these sick heads? the way the guy family reacted tells of the dimensions of the fight against domestic violence
Uh huh, the “reaction” of the perp’s family. We do have a longgggggg way to go in curbing Domestic Violence.
I hope that mother remembers that she has girl child. I wish the victim a speedy recovery
ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS, SOME IN LAWS ARE SOME REALLLY GOOOD CANINES, BUT U KNOW WHAT, THE MEASURE TO MEASURE TO PEOPLE IN PAIN WILL COME RIGHT BACK TO YOU.
DONT WORRY THE LADY WILL LIVEEEEEE, AND WILL BE BATTER ONE DAY,,,, AND THE SAME MOTHER AND DAUGHTER WHO NEGLECT A HURTING WOMAN, WILL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES SOON, HOPE THEY WILL REMEBER WHAT THEY DID AND WONT CRY OUT TOO HARD.
THATS JUST HOW SOME PEOPLE ARE, VERY NON CONCERNED FOR NO ONE ELSE.

FAILING TO RENDER ASSISTANCE
TO AN INJURED PERSON FINE $50,000 EACH.
This why guyana my contry is how it .Is , Mother ,s see the wrong that their kids do an they condone them ,with the wrong things they do ,the family should be charge an put infront the courts ,or the government should make it an law that failing to come to the call of help ,by an next man an crime,.SN ,PLEASE PUT THESE MENS PICTURE IN THE PAPERS ,
Sick, Sick, the family of haynes is also sick for not assisting ms. ward, hope he get the harshest penalty in guyana for the crime he commited, when wil this nonsense end.
Well, she is alive to tell her story. This is more insecurity about himself and the relationship. Women need to start recognizing the warning signs: find out about people’s family before them commit to long term relationships. Much needs to be corrected in Guyana and it begins with education in High school.
What presumption to fabricate such a story. I am glad Ms. Ward did the right thing by telling what exactly happened, as some females might have been scared and told his version. A speedy recovery i wish her, and as for the family their conscience will be awaken. Ship him to Camp street. These men are doing these brutal things because the penalities are lenient. They need to be stoned in public by the victim if survive and by families who are left to deal with their loss and not waste the courts time in trial.
wished the victim of this brutal attack a speedy recovery, i would’nt condemm the parents, maybe they were fearful also hench their reluctance to assist the victim, but who knows,domestic violence is the issue here and something must be done, fast….
Why not,the family should’ve known better, and they should be held accountable for not rendering assistance.
