Loo Creek woman chopped on head

A farmer is currently on the run, one week after he allegedly attacked and injured his 54-year-old reputed wife during an argument at their Loo Creek, Linden/Soesdyke Highway home.

Reports are that the incident unfolded around 5pm last Tuesday during which Nora Emmanuel was allegedly beaten about her body and chopped on her head with a cutlass.

She was picked up in an unconscious condition and taken to the Linden Hospital where she spent two days before taking her own discharge.

Divisional Commander Linden Lord yesterday told Stabroek News that as the investigation continues, the police have since made several checks for the suspect who is yet to be located.

While details surrounding the incident remains sketchy, this newspaper understands that the couple worked at a farm together.

Reports are that the argument began after Emmanuel could not locate two electronic devices belonging to their employer and which they were ordered not to remove.

The suspect reportedly became annoyed after Emmanuel informed their employer that it was he who removed the items.

As a result, he armed himself with a cutlass and attacked her.
