Police issue bulletin for ‘Barber’ over attack on ex-partner

The Guyana Police Force is on the hunt for a Number 69 Village, Corentyne, Berbice man wanted over the attempted murder of his ex-partner.

Wanted is 45-year-old, Sasenarine Sankar called ‘Barber’ or ‘Wire’. The incident is said to have occurred on the April 5 at Number 53 Village, Corentyne,  Berbice.

In April, Stabroek News had reported on the attack on 34-year-old Sandy Persaud after she ended an abusive relation with Sankar.

Persaud recalled that she was at her mother’s house when the man invaded the premises and began chopping her about her body at around 5 am. At the time, her son had been heading out to work. When he had opened the door, Sankar rushed in.

The man reportedly attacked his ex-partner with the cutlass, chopping her about her body.

Relatives had said that before they could respond the man had already dealt Persaud several chops about her body and broadsided her elderly mother who attempted to intervene.

Sankar then escaped from the scene and Persaud was rushed to hospital.

Since then, Sankar allegedly has contacted the family, threating to the attack them and the victim again.
