Rosignol woman critical after being stabbed by ex

A young Rosignol woman is now hospitalised in a critical condition after she was stabbed multiple times yesterday morning in an attack carried out by her former partner.

The attack on Maria Singh, also known as ‘Nalo’, 21, a cook, of Lot 3 Bennett Dam, Rosignol West Bank Berbice, occurred while she was seated in a hire car, where she was a passenger.

Her assailant, Adrian Anthony Persaud, 26, a cane cutter of Lot 4 Bennett Dam Rosignol West Bank Berbice, then reportedly proceeded home, where he attempted to end his own life. He was later found by investigators, who rushed him to the Fort Wellington Hospital, where he was admitted also in a critical condition.
