Mother hacked to death by paramour

Feb 16, 2009 News

A Port Kaituma resident has gone into hiding after hacking his reputed wife to death and severely wounding his 16-year-old daughter.
Reports are that the incident occurred at some time after 5:00 hours yesterday.
Deborah Allen reportedly died almost instantly after she was chopped about her body by her irate husband.
His daughter, Sherriann Allen, was also wounded during the attack.
The injured teen recalled that they were all attending an event at a disco in the area. Sometime during the night, her father claimed that he had looked for the daughter and mother in the disco but had not seen them.
This, she said, apparently angered her father, and when they arrived home, he began to question them.
Although they both insisted that they were in the disco, the teen said, her father kept accusing her mother of being with someone else. She said her father then picked up a cutlass and attacked her first.
She said her mother shouted: “No, don’t tek it out on she,” and ran to her rescue.
The teen recalled that her father then turned his attention to her mother, and began chopping her mercilessly.
Neighbours who heard the commotion rushed to the house, but by then the suspect had fled.
Allen was taken to the Port Kaituma Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
The injured teen was air-dashed to the city, where she was admitted to the Georgetown Public Hospital. Her condition is being monitored.
In the meantime, police said they have received information that the suspect has fled further into the interior.
