Natasha recuperating in her hospital bed
Natasha Ramphal, 28, who was viciously attacked by a male acquaintance, Rafeek Baksh, yesterday, is currently recuperating at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
Baksh attacked the woman some time around 14:30 hrs, Tuesday. Speaking to Kaieteur News yesterday, the woman said that she was about to pick up her son from school.
She said that she saw the man driving and he stopped and asked her how she was feeling. She in turn told him that he should leave her alone, since she had secured a restraining order against him. The injured woman told the newspaper that after she told him that, the car reversed and he came out armed with a cutlass.
The woman said that what she said may have angered him, because he immediately started to chop her.
Recounting what happened, the woman said that she begged him to spare her. The woman said she ran into someone’s yard and he followed her and kept chopping her about her body.
The woman said that she collapsed and he probably thought that she was dead. The injured woman, who lives at Industry, was rushed to the hospital.
Baksh then went to his 471 Block Y Cummings Lodge home and ingested the poison. He was then rushed to the hospital by his relatives, where he died shortly afterwards. Sources said that when the man realised that the woman was not dead, he still tried to get to her in the emergency room.
The dead man leaves to mourn a wife and three children, with the youngest being eight months old.
