The mother of two of Canefield, East Canje who was stabbed repeatedly by her now dead estranged husband around 6:40 am on Saturday is said to be “out of danger.” She was discharged from hospital yesterday.
Sheniza ‘Farida’ Mangru, 23 was rushed to the New Amsterdam Hospital after her husband; Parbu ‘Boyie” Rattan, 29 dealt her 12 stab wounds including on both breasts, five on her back and one on her right knee. He then took his own life.
She had been treated and sent away while the man who consumed a poisonous substance was admitted under guard and later passed away.
Around midday on Saturday her breast started to bleed and she was again taken to the hospital where she admitted in the Intensive Care Unit.
Mangru, a salesgirl at a general store in New Amsterdam told Stabroek News that the doctors mentioned that she “lost a lot of blood” and has to build up her body.
The doctors said that the x-rays proved that some of the wounds were deep but she was “ok.” She was also ordered to return to the institution for check-ups.
Her brother, Imran Ally, 25 told this newspaper that a man who was fishing in the area and witnessed the stabbing attempted to run after the attacker. The man abandoned his plan after he saw Rattan consuming the substance.
He immediately returned to the scene and rushed the girl to the hospital in his car. Ally said they received a call about the stabbing but by the time they arrived she was already taken to the hospital.
Ally rode his bicycle to where the attacker was and the man admitted that he had just stabbed his sister. Thinking the woman was already dead Rattan said that he had gotten his “reward.” He also told Ally to “do what you want” and he responded “I don’t have to do him anything; the police would deal with you.”
He said before meeting his sister nine years ago the man was involved with another woman and had reportedly chased her with a knife. Ally had warned the woman about the man’s behaviour and she responded that he “would change.”
Meanwhile, Mangru told this newspaper that her employers would provide transportation for her and other staff to and from work but she would normally walk out the long street alone.
She said that although the man would threaten to kill her she never expected that he would have tried to do it. She said he was very abusive and sometimes she would be forced to defend herself.
Mangru described Rattan’s mother as a “nice person” and said she had no problem with her. She said since she was separated from her husband one month ago he would pick up the children and take them to spend time with him.
According to her, on the morning of the stabbing he tried to give her his phone so he could call his children. She told him to keep his phone because she would “turn on me phone and yuh gon talk to them.”
She told him she was leaving and attempted to walk past him when he stopped her. She recalled that he waited until a man passed and he retrieved the knife from his pocket and started attacking her as she shouted in vain for her brother.
