Woman beaten in New Year’s attack regains consciousness

After spending several weeks in the Intensive Care Unit of the Georgetown Public Hospital in an unconscious state, Shaunell Warrick has regained consciousness, according to a relative.

Yesterday, the relative said that Warrick was awake and responding when she was being spoken to. Warrick, the relative added, shakes her head and squeezes hands in response to questions.

She noted too that Warrick had recently undergone an operation but she did not say for what. “She’s oaky. She is doing much more better,” the relative added.

On New Year’s Day, Warrick was allegedly beaten by Rudolph London, her on and off companion of over 15 years. The man allegedly used a cutlass to beat Warrick and she sustained a fractured skull.

Warrick, a mother of two and a teacher at the East Street Nursery School, was attacked while at London’s home in Crane, West Coast Demerara.

London, 39, of 109 Best Village, West Coast Demerara, has since appeared at the Vreed-en-Hoop Magistrates’ Court charged with attempted murder. The man was not required to plead to the indictable charge and was remanded to prison. His mother had told the court that he was receiving psychiatric treatment.
