attached to life-support machine in the Intensive Care Unit of the Georgetown Public Hospital, was attacked after refusing to “spend some time” with her estranged partner.
Bibi Shareema Khan was chopped as she lay in her bed at her mother, Bibi Shameela Shamshudeen’s Greenwich, East Bank Essequibo home on August 3, last.
The suspect sneaked into the house by breaking a window in the lower flat of the property. Harrinarine not only attacked the mother of his one-year-old child, but he also stabbed his son’s grandmother when she ran to her daughter’s rescue.
The suspect later consumed a poisonous substance and succumbed two days later.
In a recent interview, a terrified Shamshudeen, who has not seen her wounded daughter as yet due to her own condition, recalled what transpired just a little before 23:00 hrs on that fateful Wednesday night.
The 50-year-old woman said that her daughter’s ex-partner had visited their home to take $5000 for his child and asked Khan if she could go out and “spend some time” with him. He reportedly got angry when the mother of three refused.
“My daughter told him that she is not a prostitute and he get vex and he left,” Shamshudeen recounted.
She said that after the man left, she ate and informed her daughter that she was heading to bed, to which Khan told her that she too was going to take a nap—that was around 19:00 hrs on August 3.
“I was sleeping and then I hear this girl shout ‘Mommy’ and I got up to go over to her room, thinking that

she had a bad dream,” the woman said.
Just as she was entering her daughter’s room, she saw Harrinarine with a knife. The man then stabbed her and ran away.
A wounded Shamshudeen said that she then tried to crawl down the step to seek help.
Although she was badly chopped, Khan managed to get out of her bed and was trying to follow her mother, but slipped on her (Shamshudeen’s) blood and collapsed.
“When I almost reached to the bottom of the step, I fall down and I only remember being lifted into a car.”
Shamshudeen said that Harrinarine walked out on her daughter when she was only five months pregnant, claiming that he was not the father of her child.
“He come back, asking her to take him back and she told him that he had to stop drink and get a place and start buy things for the house, then she will move back with him,” the mother said.
The woman claimed that when the suspect and her daughter were together, they lived at her

home for some time but experienced a number of problems.
“If he buy two pound flour and he and my daughter get wrong, he does take the flour back and carry it to his mother house. Or if he buy lil oil and some other things, he gone hire a taxi and fetch way everything to his mother house and after two mornings, he coming back,”
Khan’s three children are staying with her grandmother.
