Best Village woman saved from stabbing carried out by rejected ex

Some of the injuries Gaindowattie Ramdeo suffered during the attack

A Best Village, West Coast Demerara woman almost lost her life on Sunday when she was stabbed several times by her former partner.

During the attack, her mother and a cousin, who both attempted to save her, were also injured.

The woman, Gaindowattie Ramdeo, believes that she is alive due to the bravery of her six-year-old daughter, who ran to alert neighbours about the attack and begged them to save her mother from being killed, as well as the actions of a neighbour who intervened.
