After one month, chopped woman still unable to speak
The 16-year-old, who was brutally chopped when her paramour caught her in a compromising position is now in the recovery state but is still unable to speak.
The woman was admitted to the High Dependency Unit (HDU) of the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), after she was flown from Port Kaituma nursing severe chops delivered by her reputed husband. There was one to her head that affected her brain.
The reputed husband had caught her in his bedroom having sex with his now dead employee, Junior Joseph.
Joseph, of Onderneeming, Essequibo Coast had his neck almost severed. He died before receiving medical attention. His attacker has been on the run ever since the brutal incident.
According to information reaching this newspaper, Lovell was a popular “call girl” at Port Kaituma, North West District, and the dredge owner took her home as his wife.
There are reports that the couple lived together for almost a year. “She used to go out and sleep with all kinds of people behind he back,” a source from Port Kaituma claimed.
Kaieteur News was told that the dredge owner had suspected that Joseph was involved in a relationship with his reputed wife but he never managed to confirm it. Residents said that from all indications, the dredge owner planned his actions well by leaving under the pretext of going to do business.
He had reportedly made arrangements for another person to inform him if Joseph showed up at their home.
This apparently was done and the dredge owner doubled back and caught the two in bed. He first attacked Joseph and after mortally wounding him, turned his attention to the woman who had stood transfixed as events unfolded.
After chopping the two people the dredge owner fled.
