Corentyne man slashed ex-wife’s face after she threatened to call cops

Rezana Rahaman’s injured face with the stitches

A Corentyne woman is now nursing an injury to her face that required twenty-eight stitches after the father of her children slashed her with a knife on Sunday evening.

Rezana Rahaman, 23, of Number 77 Village, Corentyne, explained that the suspect identified as Mathew Gangapersaud, 31, left her two years ago after he moved in with another female. However, she said he would still “come around” as they have two children together.

Prior to that the couple had shared a common law union for eight years.
