Hernandes is still awaiting the results of an MRI and an x-ray performed on her on Monday to determine the full extent of the stab wound to her neck.
As of now, she is incapable of moving her lower body since the knife sliced through her neck and scraped her spinal cord.
The 22-year-old, who resides at Lot 121 Courbane Park, Annandale, East Coast Demerara, was on the phone with her sister in her house when she was caught off guard by her jilted lover. The man had apparently sneaked into the house while she was on the phone.
According to Hernandes’ sister, Marissa Ramdas, her sister, who had ended the relationship with the man three months ago, was having a conversation with another man in her house about buying some clothes when she received a phone call from her ex-lover’s older daughter, instructing her to shut her doors, because her father was irate and had picked up a knife and was headed to her house.
Ramdas said that her sister immediately rushed to her front door and locked it, but was a second short of shutting the back door when the man barged into the house and started yelling and brandishing the knife.
She said the other man who was in the house at the time managed to calm the enraged man down and take him back home, which was a corner away.
Awhile after, as Hernandes was relating the story to Ramdas, the man slipped back into the house, through an open window, and stabbed her to her neck.
It was then she fell to the ground and the man continued his rampage, stabbing her several times to her shoulder and arms.
Hernandes had ended the turbulent relationship three months ago because of the man’s abusive behaviour. Kaieteur News was informed that the man would get drunk and then beat her mercilessly. The two share custody of their three-year-old son.
The man is still on the run.
