A Bell West, Canal No. 2 man is now hospitalised after he was chopped in the head during an attack by his girlfriend’s former partner.
Sultan Eshack was chopped several times in his head with a cutlass around 7pm on Thursday after the man lay in wait at his 419 Bell West Housing Scheme, West Bank Demerara residence. He was rushed to the West Demerara Hospital, where he was treated, before being released yesterday midday.
His alleged attacker, Ricky Manickchand, has since gone into hiding.
Hardaiharichan Singh said she decided to leave Manickchand a month ago because she was being constantly beaten. She related that her boyfriend came home and shouted at her to open the gate. “When I come down stairs I see him and my child father [Manickchand] fighting and then my child father started to chop him in the head,” she said.
Singh added that Manickchand called her phone after the attack and said he would kill her and her boyfriend the next time. “He said it was just the beginning and he just give him two chop now but when he come out he will give him more,” the woman recounted.
She also related that the man had on several occasions threatened to burn her house down and kill her.
