The injured Paulette Harris.
At the hospital yesterday, Harris told Kaieteur News that she was at the camp when her lover came to her and asked to talk with her for a few minutes. “He come and said he wanted to talk and I left and go with him in a corner.”
Harris said that even though she and her partner would frequently get into heated arguments and sometimes minor fights, he never attacked her with any weapon.
“I went with he and he start telling me that someone tell he that I got somebody and I said no. He pulled out the cutlass and started chopping me,” the mother of two said.
