A woman is now nursing several stab wounds to her neck and wrist after she was attacked by her reputed husband whom she had dumped earlier in the year.

Injured is Shondell Hernandez, 22, of Lot 121 Curbane Park, Annandale, East Coast Demerara.

Reports reaching Guyana Times stated that Hernandez was at home talking to her sister on the phone when she heard an unusual sound. Upon investigating she saw her former lover climbing though her window. Before she could have retreated, the man made his way into the house, whipped out a knifed and dealt her several stabs to her neck and wrist. Following the stabbing he escaped.

The woman’s sister, who heard the commotion over the phone, went over to the house only to find her sister on the floor in a pool of blood. Hernandez is said to be in a serious condition at a city hospital.

This newspaper was told that Hernandez ended the relationship with the man because of his abusive behaviour. The two were together for six years.

Although the relationship had ended, Hernandez had an arrangement with her assailant to visit their 3-year-old child.

However, of recent, the suspect reportedly began following her whenever she left the house. This newspaper was told the suspect would regularly telephone the woman and threaten to harm her if she did not get back with him.

The police have since launched an investigation into the stabbing incident.
