Husband beats doctor in head with hammer, drinks poison
An ongoing family dispute between a pharmacy assistant and his Cuban wife, who is a doctor, has rendered them both as patients at the New Amsterdam Hospital where they once worked.
The female doctor, Iliana Yurutia Pairol-Yearwood, has been living in Guyana for some time. She once worked at the New Amsterdam Hospital and was attached to the Eureka Labs and the New Amsterdam Prisons.
She had her head bashed in with a hammer by her husband, Victor Yearwood, a pharmacy assistant attached to the New Amsterdam hospital. The man later attempted to commit suicide by consuming a poisonous substance and was rushed to the hospital.
According to reports the couple has been having domestic problems for some time now. Their feud was previously before a Magistrate after they had a misunderstanding at their home at Savannah Park, New Amsterdam.
Things came to a head yesterday morning when the doctor found out some secrets about her husband.
The dispute escalated and the man allegedly took a hammer and started beating the woman in her head and about her body.
Her screams and hasty exit from the house attracted neighbours who hurried to her rescue. According to reports the woman started to slip in and out of consciousness and was rushed to the New Amsterdam hospital where she was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit.
Yearwood in the meantime reportedly started to cry out that he was losing it (was mad) and fled the house.
The matter was reported to the Central Police station and the police went in search of the man.
He was later found on Republic Road in a semi-conscious state after he reportedly consumed a dose of poison. He was also rushed to the New Amsterdam hospital and remained warded.
Yearwood was before the court charged with using threatening language against Iliana Yurutia Pairol-Yearwood last year.
They had appeared before Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus who had ordered that they seek counseling.
