A labourer of Westbury Essequibo Coast, who attempted to murder his reputed wife last Monday, was yesterday remanded prison.
The accused, 36-year-old Leonard Grant, appeared before Magistrate Esther Sam, in the Suddie Magistrate’s Court.
The charge read that Grant unlawfully and maliciously wounded his reputed wife, Shenella Marks, with an attempt to commit murder. Grant who appeared in court unrepresented, was not required to plead to the charge. The man was subsequently remanded to prison, and ordered to make his next court appearance on March 5, next.
Kaieteur News was reliably informed that the suspect shared an abusive relationship with the victim, Shenella Marks for some nine years. Even with an eight year old child, the relationship increasingly became abusive, until Marks decided to part ways with Grant about a month ago.
Last Monday however, the man confronted Marks and her mother on the Charity waterfront, as the women were about to head home.
Shortly after threatening the woman’s mother, Grant dealt Shenella multiple stabs about her body, before breaking the knife blade in her upper shoulder.
She was rushed to the Suddie Public Hospital for emergency surgery, and remains in a stable condition.
