The 19-year-old woman, who sustained knife wounds to her right lower abdomen, is in a stable condition.
Shalo Gildharie of 316 Enterprise Gardens, East Coast Demerara was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital on Saturday evening after she reportedly sustained the injuries sometime before 4 pm that day.
Gildharie’s mother Sugito Ramcoomar had told Stabroek News that her daughter’s mother-in law had told her that Gildharie was walking down the stairs when she slipped and fell on a knife she had been cleaning fish with.
The visibly distressed Ramcoomar had said she had her doubts as to whether this was what had happened. Ramcoomar said Gildharie and her husband had an argument on Friday and it resulted in him slapping her.
Gildharie and her in-laws refused to speak about the incident yesterday. All they would say was the young woman was “feeling much better”.
Stabroek News was unable to contact Ramcoomar yesterday.
