Woman stabbed, beaten over doctor’s fee request
A 49-year-old woman was stabbed and beaten by her boyfriend on Tuesday when she asked
Andrea Brummell
him to borrow $3000 to visit the doctor.
Andrea Brummell, of Lot 465 North East La Penitence, Georgetown suffers from high blood pressure and needed money to visit the doctor.
The mother of five reportedly asked her partner to loan her the cash until she received her salary the following day.
Her request allegedly angered the suspect and this resulted in a bitter altercation which caused him to stab her four times about the body and hit her in the head with a piece of wood. Brummell is now recovering in a private hospital.
The suspect was nabbed on Friday morning and has told the police that he was simply trying to defend himself.
Brummell, in an interview yesterday, said that she can barely recall what transpired. She has even lost track of the days.
The woman said that she remembers asking her partner to borrow the cash but does not recall when he assaulted her.
“I don’t remember what happened, all I know is that I got up on Thursday morning preparing to go to work. I was on one bed and he (suspect) was on the other bed,” she recalled.
From her hospital bed, the security guard noted that as she was about to get ready, she felt sick and asked her partner to take her to the hospital—the man agreed.
It was at the hospital that she discovered she was stabbed—two wounds to the leg, once to the buttocks and one to the spine. There were also black and blue marks on her body.
Kaieteur News was informed that the woman was previously attacked by the suspect, who will be making a court appearance on Monday.
