…lifeless body of attacker found hanging
A 32-year-old mother of six is battling for her life after she was chopped to her neck and hands by her reputed husband during an argument at Swan Community, Linden-Soesdyke Highway on Tuesday.
The woman, Malicia Andrews was attacked and chopped around 02:30h on the day in question.
The suspect, 39-year-old Ian English, subsequently took his own life after committing the act. He was found hanging a short distance from the home the couple and their two children shared.
Charmalita Adams, the youngest sister of the now injured woman, related that Andrews visited her mother’s home to discuss some problems that she was facing in her relationship.
“She went down by mommy, cause we ain’t know if they get problems, she never used to speak out … he follow she down there and tell she come with he, but she didn’t want to ‘cause she ain’t want he no more….,” the sister stated.
The suspect, however, followed Andrews to her mother’s home at Lot 22 Swan Community, and demanded that she return home with him, but she refused while informing him that she wanted to end the relationship.
The suspect reportedly became enraged, armed himself with a cutlass, went into the house and dealt Andrews several chops to her body. The injured woman reportedly ran into the yard and collapsed.
Believing his partner to be dead, the suspect collected a rope along with the blood-stained cutlass and fled the scene. Andrews was picked up and rushed to the Diamond hospital in critical condition and later transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital. English’s body was later discovered by Police ranks who were summoned to the scene after the chopping incident. His body was cut down and taken to the Lyken Funeral home to await a post mortem.
Andrews remains in critical condition at the Georgetown Public Hospital. The couple, who shared a relationship for several years, had two children ages 13 and 2.
