Woman admitted to HDU, in stable condition
The severely wounded Sumintra Rampersaud being transferred from the West Demerara Hospital
Having suffered a severe beating from her estranged husband Wednesday night, 49-year-old Sumintra Rampersaud, also known as Mayo, is a patient of the High Dependency Unit of the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPHC).
The mother of five, according to her children, has not responded to them and remained motionless when they attempted to talk to her around noon yesterday. However, the woman is said to be in a stable condition.
According to reports Rampersaud of 41 Albert Loo Street, Leonora, West Coast Demerara, sustained stabs wounds and other injuries to her body when her husband, 52-year-old Ganga Persaud attacked her outside a popular West Coast Auto Dealership. He was apprehended by police the same night.
The incident which occurred around 19:00 hours Wednesday was characteristic of Persaud ambushing Rampersaud as she exited a minibus and attempted to enter the auto entity. She was reportedly about to meet another man with whom she shares an intimate relationship.
According to owner of the auto dealership Rampersaud’s lover was employed as a Security Officer.
The owner disclosed that he has since fired the man, having learnt of the occurrence.
Reports are that Persaud assaulted his wife with a sharpened piece of wood and stripped her of her clothing. He made good his escape when the woman collapsed to the ground having sustained gaping wounds to her neck and other parts of her body.
With a swollen face and blood oozing from various parts of her body Rampersaud was rushed to the West Demerara Regional Hospital in a taxi, reaching there in a delirious condition. Her injuries were treated but the woman was eventually transferred to the GPHC.
According to the woman’s 17-year-old daughter, Amrita Persaud, she and her other siblings only learnt of their mother’s ordeal around 06:00 hours yesterday. The news, according to the young girl, came from the man their mother was attempting to meet when she suffered the unfortunate fate.
Amrita, who is awaiting her CSEC results, said that her mother who is employed as a labourer at a fishing company, was the sole breadwinner of the home.
Being the eldest of her siblings the young girl said that she may now be tasked with taking charge, thus her need to find a job urgently.
She recounted that it was just a few days ago that her mother urged her to start sending out applications for a job.
