A Non Pareil woman and her five children continue to live in fear and the police have stepped up the hunt for her husband who torched their home last Sunday morning.
The woman and her children continue to move from neighbour to neighbour in their quest for shelter following the destruction of their Block 12 Non Pareil house.
The woman, Ramdie Mahdeo, told this newspaper yesterday that her husband continues to elude capture even as the police respond to every sighting.
Kaieteur News understands that yesterday the police made two thorough searches for the fugitive, combing areas from Non Pareil to Enterprise without success.
The man had reportedly failed in his attempt to kill his entire family and made good on his threat to burn his house down early Sunday morning.
But as days go by his desperation of not ‘finishing the job’ is getting worse.
Mahdeo told this newspaper that villagers at whose homes she and her children are seeking refuge from day to day have been threatened by her husband.
“I have to be moving from neighbour to neighbour all the time and I can’t let him know where exactly I am staying,” she said.
She explained that the man has threatened to find out at which neighbour she would be staying and burn their house down too.
The threats have not fallen on deaf ears and the neighbours have resolved to protect the woman and her children until the police manage to apprehend her husband. Some neighbours told this newspaper that the man was seen entering the property some time Saturday night and was seen leaving shortly after the fire started.
Fortunately, Mahdeo, called Debbie, and her children were persuaded against sleeping in the house on Saturday night despite a burning desire to return to the comfort of the home they had occupied for the past 15 years.
Mahdeo, in tears, told this newspaper that for several years her husband has been abusive and on several occasions had threatened to kill her, thus forcing her to flee the house several times.
On a number of occasions the man was locked up by the police but would return to his threatening ways as soon as he is released.
