May 18, 2022 News

Kaieteur News – Allowing an ex-boyfriend to sleep over almost turned deadly for 39-year-old Sharon Hoppie after the man allegedly invaded her room and stabbed her twice before running away.
Hoppie, a resident of 32 Hadfield Street, Lodge, Georgetown, was attacked by the man around 03:30hrs on Tuesday. He allegedly stabbed her once to her neck and the left-side of her abdomen.
She told investigators that the relationship between her and the man ended two months ago. Hoppie has since started dating another man. However, after midnight, the ex-boyfriend showed up at her home and reportedly saw the man leaving. The two got into a misunderstanding and after they settled the argument, Hoppie allowed him to sleep over because “it was late for him to go home.”
The woman claimed that she went to bed around 02:00hrs but was startled out of her sleep with her ex standing over her with a knife in his hand. She reportedly tried to fight him off but he managed to stab her twice before escaping.
Her screams alerted a neighbour who rushed to her assistance. She was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) where doctors treated her wounds. According to police, doctors said her condition is stable.
Ranks are currently hunting the suspect.
