A 21-year-old trafficking in persons complainant has been removed from her home, putting the case against the accused at risk, and the young woman’s grandmother is afraid that she and her 17-month-old daughter could come to harm.
The young woman disappeared two weeks ago, just days before the next court date, and while her grandmother has heard from her twice she told the Sunday Stabroek that her granddaughter sounded afraid. The fact that she is a drug addict is even more frightening for the grandmother who said her granddaughter could be given an overdose of drugs.
“I am really afraid for my grandchild and her baby…,” the woman told this newspaper in a recent interview.
The victim was one of two women who were rescued earlier this year from an interior location by members of the Guyana Women Miners Organisation
