A young mother was severely maimed last Friday morning at Annandale, East Coast Demerara, after her ex-lover sneaked into her house and stabbed her several times about her body before fleeing the scene.Shondell HernandesShondell Hernandes, 22, of Lot 121 Courbane Park, Annandale, East Coast Demerara, was on the phone with her sister in her house, when she was caught off guard by her jilted lover who stabbed her to her neck.  She was left helpless on the ground, gasping for air.Hernandes’ sister, Marissa Ramdas, stated yesterday that her sister, who had ended the relationship with the man three months ago and was having a conversation with another man, when she received a phone call from her ex-lover’s older daughter, instructing her to shut her doors because her father was rabid and had picked up a knife and was headed to her house.Ramdas said that her sister immediately rushed to her front door and locked it but was a second short of shutting the back door when the man barged into the house and started yelling and brandishing the knife.  She said the other man who was in the house at the time managed to calm the irate man down and take him back home, which was a corner away.A while after, whilst Hernandes was relating the story to Ramdas the man slipped back into the house, through an open window and stabbed her  to her neck.“She was talking to me on the phone when she said she turn around and see him coming out of the room with the same knife.  And when she tried to run, he grab her and juk her in the neck and she fall down and couldn’t get up,” Ramdas said, adding that the man continued to stab her sister even as she cried out for help.Hernandes had ended the turbulent relationship three months ago because of the man’s abusive behaviour. Kaieteur News was informed that the man would get drunk and then beat her mercilessly. The two share custody of their three-year-old son.The young mother is a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital, where she has undergone an MRI to determine the extent of the injury on her neck. Doctors, however, have informed her family that the stab wound in the neck had done damage to her spine.  Her condition is being closely monitored by the doctors.
