Chopped wife discharged, attacker still at large
Celena Butts, the woman who was chopped on the head and hand by her common-law husband at around 20:00hrs last week Saturday, has been discharged from the High Dependency Unity (HDU) of the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
Meanwhile, Butts’s common-law husband of five years, Stephen “Eddie Grant” Sukhram, is still on the run.
Initial reports suggested that the 52-year-old woman was preparing dinner when her husband chopped her with a cutlass. The woman, a shop owner, reportedly managed to disarm her attacker, who then picked up an axe and continued to slash Butts about her body and head.
The attack reportedly stemmed from an argument that the couple had hours earlier, which resulted in Sukhram storming out of the home before returning to commit the act.
Butts was rushed to the Accident and Emergency (A&E) Unit of the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) where she was treated for wounds to the head and right arm, before being admitted to the hospital’s HDU.
