Nicola Gomes, the 34-year-old mother of seven who reportedly burnt her home to the ground has been released from police custody.The woman’s husband Orin Gomes told this publication that he learnt of this development late yesterday afternoon when he received a call from her saying that she was at a sister’s home.Mr. Gomes who is suffering from third degree burns on the right side of his face and his right arm, said he is hoping that his wife would not be prosecuted in court.Orin Gomes, the father of seven who suffered burns the same day his wife gutted the house.On Sunday last when the couple’s Meadowbrook home was gutted he was receiving medical treatment for burns he sustained after a gas stove exploded while he was carrying out repair works on it. This incident has now left the father of seven unable to work for another few weeks.“I do not want the police to charge my wife, she needs psychiatric help, and locking her up without getting her the help she needs would not make any sense.”Gomes said that prior to Sunday’s incident, he had been trying to get his wife to receive psychiatric help, but she would not cooperate with him. Speaking of the woman’s troubles, Gomes told this publication that a month ago he was forced to remove their children from the home after his wife started acting strangely.According to Gomes, he went to the Child Care Protection Agency to see what assistance he would get. Gomes said he and his wife started visiting a social worker who was assigned to deal with them, and recently he had received a referral to the Georgetown Public Hospital.“Only Friday I get the document and they tell me once I go to the hospital I will get another referral to Dr. Harry, so I was just waiting for Monday to come… and look what happen the Sunday”.Gomes said his wife’s family would always intervene and say nothing was wrong with her.The man however maintained that his wife had never displayed any violent behaviour towards him or the children until recently.“Even after I remove the children I still stayed in the house with her, but she started talking about killing me and I was fearful so I left and the Sunday when she came to see the children she bit one of our sons three times on his hand.”Gomes said on Friday last during a meeting with a social worker his wife got really agitated which prompted a referral to the Georgetown Hospital.Meanwhile, A Partnership For National Unity has expressed its concern over this incident and the one in which Marryann Nauth was brutally murdered over the weekend.“APNU calls on the relatives and friends of the mother of seven, Nicola Gomes, who burnt her house to the ground allegedly because of depression, to ensure that she is assisted to get needed medical, psychiatric and other support. Further, the Ministry of Human Services must ensure that there is adequate institutional support for women facing crisis situations. The Ministry cannot remain silent and apparently passive or indifferent to these crises increasingly facing many women in Guyana as the economic and social conditions continue to deteriorate.”
