Several weeks after 57-year-old Leslyn Thompson had her arm broken as a result of a physical assault allegedly by her employer’s brother she is yet to receive justice, but has since been paid monies owed to her. Thompson worked for Vanessa De Costa as a cook and shop attendant at her business place in the Mazaruni backdam and was injured when the woman’s brother allegedly lashed her with a drinks’ case on April 30.
She was forced to leave the backdam in pain and the woman, who was not present during the assault but never enquired about the injury, paid her less than she was owed. Since then she has been fighting for justice. A report was made at the Bartica Police Station, but the man is said to be in hiding.
But Thompson said she was still grateful for the $25,500 paid to her by De Costa, which had been owed to her. De Costa had given her some gold to sell in
