A 19-year-old mother, Michelle Baker, of Lot 90, Mitchell Street, “B” Field South Sophia, is recovering from a wound allegedly inflicted by her former lover.
According to Baker, the incident occurred on Tuesday last. She said that she was assaulted by the father of her one-year-old son, Jaydon. Baker identified her former lover as Jason Henry also of “B” Field Sophia.
The woman told Kaieteur that on Tuesday morning, at approximately 7:00 am, Henry reportedly came to her residence for pampers and milk for Jaydon, since it is normal that the baby would spend weekends with his father.
However, when Baker brought out the milk and pampers for Henry, he accused her of not hugging and kissing their son. She reportedly told him it was not possible with the baby bag in her hand. After Henry collected the baby’s bag, he allegedly grabbed Baker by her arm and said, “You got time for other men but ain’t got time for your son”.
Baker said that she screamed for Henry to let go of her arm. The angry man then told her, “You get brave” and threatened to kill her.
After Henry and the child left, Baker said that she called her mother, Paula Thomas, in hysteria about what had transpired between her and Henry. Thomas reportedly advised her to go to Turkeyen Police Station and make a report. At the station, Baker was advised to proceed to Vigilance Police Station to get a restraining order against Henry.
At Vigilance Police Station, Baker was reportedly told that she cannot have a restraining order against Henry since they are not living together and unless he is continuously threatening her, only then she will be able to obtain such.
While returning home from Vigilance Police Station, Baker was allegedly attacked by Henry, who at the time had a knife which he reportedly used to cut her throat. The duo was reported to have been in a scuffle before Baker’s mother realized that it was her daughter’s screams that she was hearing outside.
After a lad from the area attempted to part the two, Henry reportedly threw away the knife and ran away. He has not been seen or heard from since.
However, it was not until Baker and her mother carried her bloodied clothes to Vigilance Police Station did they receive a restraining order. The restraining order states that Henry must not be within 500ft of Baker and to have no contact with her.
Baker was treated for her injuries at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
