Jilted man kills lover…dumps body out of his car
A mother of four died at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) hours after she was stabbed by her jilted lover who then kicked her out of his car on Carmichael Street, Georgetown in broad daylight yesterday.
The incident occurred around 16:30 hrs in the vicinity of Ptolemy Reid Rehabilitation Centre.
The dead woman has been identified as Melissa Skeete, a Dispatcher at the GPHC of Lot 94 Prince William Street, Plaisance, East Coast Demerara (ECD).
The woman died while undergoing surgery at the hospital. She was stabbed multiple times.
Shortly after stabbing Skeete, the suspect, who is on the run, called one of her friends and when the individual asked why he injured the woman, he denied and ended the call.
According to reports, the woman left work around 15:00 hrs yesterday. The hospital’s security guards recalled seeing the woman entering the suspect’s car.
There are reports that before Skeete left the hospital with the suspect, she left his car registration number, PRR 6841 and her cell phone number with one of her colleagues.
The woman reportedly told her co-worker that she does not trust the man and requested that he (co-worker) call her phone later in the day to ensure that everything was okay.
She also asked that if anything should happen to her, he should hand over the car registration number to the police.
Skeete was attacked shortly after leaving with the suspect. She was taken to the hospital by a man who saw her lying on the road in blood.
There are reports that the woman and the suspect who share one child separated some time back after she was frequently abused by the man.
Kaieteur News was told that after the separation, the suspect would show up at the woman’s home and physically abuse her.
Some time last week, the suspect went to the woman’s house and destroyed her windows, forcing her to move from that location.
Skeete’s co-workers recalled the woman complaining to them that her lover threatened to kill her.
Her relatives were seen at the hospital late last night but refused to speak to the media.
