The police in Berbice have launched a manhunt for a Tapir driver after he severed his ex-girlfriend’s hand and chopped her mother several times on Christmas Eve at Number 70 Village, Corentyne, Berbice.
After years of stalking Bhartie Udho, 23, her ex-boyfriend launched his attack on Saturday when the former teacher, her mother and siblings were heading to Corriverton for their annual Christmas Eve walkabout. Both the teen and her mother Amika Udho, 42, have been admitted to the Georgetown Public Hospital. Udho’s four siblings managed to escape injury.
Abdul Ali when contacted, told Stabroek News that his family left home and shortly after he heard screams. He then saw one of his daughters rushing towards their home. He pointed out that at this time he saw the suspect in front of his home.
“I see the man going through the street with a cutlass”, Ali noted. He said he then ran towards his wife, who was lying in a pool of blood on the road.
“She get a chop on her chest and one on the forehead”. Ali explained that he was going to pick her up in an effort to take her to the hospital, however, she then told him to leave her and to go and check on his daughter.
He then rushed to his daughter who was lying a short distance away, noting that he found her with a severed hand and several chop wounds about her body. “Sheer blood me see, just the skin did holding the hand”. Ali said that he noticed a chop wound to one of his daughter’s fingers as well.
Meanwhile, according to information gathered, the accused has been stalking Udho for years now after she broke off a relationship with him in 2011.
According to information received, the family had obtained a restraining order from the court preventing the suspect from coming within a certain distance of them.
The distraught father also vented his frustration at lawmen attached to the Springlands Police Station, as he believes they did not do enough to protect his family. He said, “Every time she report, they pick him up and tell us got to court. I fed up running to the station”, he stated.
Udho who was in the profession of teaching, quit her job in fear for her life.
Since the incident the suspect has gone into hiding.
