FERRY STREET, NEW AMSTERDAM – Last evening, ranks in Division ‘B’ of the Guyana Police Force detained a man after his reputed wife, 40-year-old Pauline David of Ferry Street, New Amsterdam was pronounced dead at the New Amsterdam Hospital a few hours earlier.
Police arrived at the home of the couple and minutes later, about 20:10 hours, departed with 49-year old Keith Simon.
The couple’s second child, 17-year old Elizabeth Simon, said her mother began complaining of lower abdominal pains since Friday and was taken to the New Amsterdam Hospital, “They gave she saline and three set of tablets. Then she start to feel worse and she get weak and drowsy. The same thing keep happening till today (Sunday) and she didn’t talking. They take she back to the hospital and then we get the news this afternoon.” The child said her mother was declared dead just after 16:00 hours.
Elizabeth Simon said her parents’ relationship was no ideal situation, “They used to fight a lot.”
The dead woman’s friend, Marsha McKenzie of Tucber Park said the woman endured a life of torture at the hands of her reputed husband.
“He always knocking she. He used to beat she bad. Whenever I tell she go report it to the police, she don’t go.”
McKenzie recalled that yesterday morning, the reputed husband visited her home.
“He laughing and tell me, ‘Come see what happen to yuh friend, she messing up she skin.’ When I go, I talking to she and she ain’t responding, she ain’t talking. I know they do an x-ray today and it show that she got some fracture skull. Plus I want to know what is the black thing that is coming out of she mouth. How she get a fracture skull? I want to know, what is the black substance coming out of her mouth?”
When the police ranks arrived on the scene, the man was not at home, and the children as well as spectators and friends gathered on the road in front of the house. As the reputed husband approached, one of his daughters remarked, “Me ain’t want see me father. When I see he, I feel like chopping he up.” Another one said, “Is he kill me mother.”
Their eldest child Richard, 20, collapsed a few times and persons close to them kept asking for his inhaler suggesting he had a medical condition.
Pauline David was employed as a guard at the R.K. National Security Network. The couple had seven children and one died in 2002 by drowning.
