Aruna Sukraj, who lives in a back house at Lot C 40 North Sophia, Georgetown, said that on Sunday around 18:30 hours she left her home and went to talk with her brother who was at the front of the yard.
Sukraj recalled leaving her door open. She returned home around 20:00 hours, “I change and I went to bed and I leave my brother in the hall watching TV.”
The 25-year-old recalled hearing a “strange sound” under her bed but she thought that it was a rat “tumbling” since she had caught one in her home only a few days ago.
“I went back to bed and around 12:00pm, when I open my eyes, I saw a man walking towards me with a piece of cloth in his hand, aiming at my nose. I start screaming and my brother who was sleeping in the hall run in and he and the man had a scramble,” the mother of one claimed.
She said while her brother and the thief were attacking each other in the hall, she was screaming, hoping that someone would have come to her aid, but no one did.
“The door was hard to open so I was trying and pushing to open the door while my brother and he (thief) were fighting. He (thief) was getting confused, he jump on the bed and jump down back and my brother pelt a glass table on him and like his tooth pitch out,” the woman recalled.
The 25-year-old said that after she got the door opened she ran outside and the thief jumped from her verandah and escaped. He left three photographs of himself and a tooth behind.
Sukraj said she recognized the man as the “drug addict” who lives at the back of her home. “He does be in the bushes and when he come out he does come stay in that house (a shack), located at Lot C 39 North Sophia. I called the police many times but they never came.”
The mother of one explained that her husband was robbed and killed four years ago and she never got justice for his death. “When my husband was killed, he (thief) was around.”
Police yesterday visited the scene and took the photographs of the thief.
