The Guyana Police Force (GPF) is yet to apprehend the man who beat and stabbed his ex-wife during an attack on Wednesday morning.
Yunicka Stewart, 24, a salesgirl, of Bagotstown, EBD, was stabbed several times about her body and bludgeoned to her head during the attack, which occurred around 8 am at Cow Pen Street, Eccles.
She was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where she remains a patient in critical condition. Stabroek News was told that the woman has made strides towards recovery but is still being closely monitored by medical professionals.
A police source also confirmed with Stabroek News last evening that her reputed husband, Kevin Smith, also known as ‘Trini’ who is suspected to have attacked the woman, is still at large as the investigation continues.
Stabroek News had learnt that over the past two months, the couple, who relatives said shared a nine-year relationship, had been experiencing domestic problems, which resulted in Stewart moving with her children from her partner’s house.
Smith later sought the intervention of the authorities for the custody of the children, but he lost. Stewart eventually started a relationship with another man, which reportedly aggravated Smith and resulted in him making threats to her.
Around 7.30 am, Stewart went to the home of Smith’s aunt, Sherry Rhobe, at Eccles to lodge a complaint about the constant threats she had been receiving. She met Smith there and a subsequent argument on the street escalated and he allegedly attacked her.
