– spurned boyfriend kills self
Minutes after leaving Mabaruma on a medivac at around 05:30 hours yesterday, 15 year-old Bibi Zaleena Shadeek who had her throat slit and was virtually disembowelled by her spurned boyfriend, succumbed to her injuries.
Reports are that after the teen died, the flight returned to Mabaruma.
Shadeek, a former fifth form student who was preparing for CXC early next year, was viciously attacked by the young man at around 19:30 hours on Wednesday at her home. The incident occurred at the teen’s home at Kumaka Stretch, Mabaruma, Barima-Waini, Region One.
Her attacker has been identified as 18-year-old Ronnie Ramit, a minibus conductor, with whom she once shared a relationship. Ramit was found hanging from a tree with a hammock rope tied around his neck early yesterday morning. However, it is believed that the man killed himself sometime on Wednesday night after the incident since he last made contact with his sister via text message and was not heard from again.
In the text message, Ramit told his sister “Tell mommy and daddy bye, I just kill Lena and I going and hang meself”.
One of the dead teen’s cousins, Janel Wong, told this publication that Bibi Shadeek had recently tried to sever her relationship with the young man, but he “would not take no for an answer”. Wong said that on Wednesday, Ramit called Shadeek on her cellular phone and asked her to come downstairs to collect a memory card.
“She and two cousins were home and she went downstairs and he was already in the yard and he dragged her behind the dog pen and slit her throat and then buss open she belly.”
According to Wong, the man then fled the yard as the badly wounded teen dragged herself into the bottom flat, by which time two of her cousins ran to her rescue.
After seeing Bibi covered in blood and the contents of her abdomen protruding, her relatives started screaming for help. The teen was rushed to the Mabaruma Hospital but there was no doctor on duty. Wong told this publication that a doctor arrived one hour and ten minutes later, but in the interim her cousin was being treated by a nurse. This publication was told that the teen’s family was allowed to stay with her throughout the night.
“She couldn’t talk, so we give her a pen and a paper and she write a note and tell us who did it.”
The cousin related that the note the teen wrote stated “Is Ronnie stab me, daddy I’m your only daughter, I know I make your hands fall. I never see you cry for me but you cried tonight. I’m sorry and I love you. If y’all find Ronnie make sure he is dead.”
In her note too, Shadeek pleaded with her brothers to always listen to their parents.
According to Wong, Bibi cried throughout the night as relatives and other officials tried getting a flight to take her out of Mabaruma for better medical attention. Relatives said that all they were told was that while there were aircraft to do the medivac, there was no pilot. This publication was told that in an effort to try to save the girl, relatives made calls to several persons “in high position” pleading with them to find a pilot. It was not until daybreak that a plane belonging to a church group and parked at Mabaruma took off with the injured teen. However, all their efforts were futile, as Shadeek died a few minutes after the flight left Mabaruma.
“When we see the flight come back we know something was wrong, but before she left she bleed a lot and she was really pale,” a relative related.
The teen’s death has rocked the community, as many could not believe that such a tragic incident had occurred in their neighbourhood. Students and teachers of the school which the teen attended were all in shock and disbelief as she was described as a high achiever. The dead girl’s relatives lauded the efforts of the doctor, nurses and the Medex who did their best with the teen before she succumbed. Reports are that the Doctor and other staffers at the Mabaruma Hospital wept when the girl died.
