Woman recalls abduction, murder attempt
Lilawattie Das, the injured woman, whose lover William Johnson, stabbed her five times in her back, is being carefully monitored as doctors continue to extract contaminated blood from her body.
Das, speaking from her hospital bed, said that doctors have inserted a tube to drain out the contaminated blood that was discovered in her body.
The woman who sounded in high spirits added that apart from the current procedure undertaken by doctors, her condition does not appear to be life threatening.
Police responding to an abduction report on January 20, at Queenstown, Essequibo, successfully rescued Das, who was being held captive by Williams.
Williams, the report added, abducted Das earlier and lured her in the back lands at Queenstown. Das, who resided with her mother-in-law, Mala Sookra, at Queenstown was confronted by Williams Saturday morning.
Das recalled that she woke around 5:00 hours Saturday and was heading to the outhouse when she was confronted by Williams who was said to be carrying a knife and a cutlass.

But Das said she was stabbed the moment police converged on the scene. She said that Williams warned the police not to pursue him before inflicting stab wounds to her back.
Williams had since been charged with attempted murder, unlawfully and maliciously setting fire to a house and threatening and abusive language.
To the charges he pleaded not guilty and was remanded, however he was granted bail by Magistrate Sunil Scarce for threatening and abusive language.
