Uttanpad Sewnarine, 39, the man accused of stabbing the mother of his child upwards of ten times in front of her Kitty home, was yesterday charged with attempted murder.
Sewnarine, 39, who allegedly left the woman, Selina Ramotar, near death due to stab wounds he inflicted to her chest, legs, abdomen, thighs, and back, was arraigned before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in a city court, where he was not required to plead to the charge.
Sewnarine, who is being represented by attorney Mark Waldron, was remanded to prison until July 29, when his next hearing is scheduled.
The attack on the woman occurred on July 9, in front of her David Street, Kitty, home, where Sewnarine reportedly stopped her to speak. Ramotar obliged and the two were left alone, according to the account given by the woman’s sister, who said that soon after she heard screams.
Ramotar’s sister and neighbours soon discovered the woman on the ground surrounded by blood due to multiple stabs at the hands of her attacker.
Ramotar has sustained injuries that are still considered life threatening although she has undergone emergency surgery and is receiving treatment.
Up to yesterday, her sister stated that her condition seemed to be improving, though she remains in the Intensive Care Unit of the Georgetown Hospital.
