Weeks after she was brutalized, Yutive MacCloud, is still looking for her colleagues at Mahdia to take action.
Mac Cloud, a 42-year-old neighbourhood policewoman, is alleging that some three weeks ago, she was beaten severely by a man whom she identified. The beating left her with a broken hand and lacerations to the face.
She is contending that justice is not being served because her assailant is wealthy.
Mac Could recalled that the incident that she felt led to her being attacked occurred on March 14, “only a few days after International Women’s Day.”
She said that that day’s altercation stemmed from her speaking to Johnson about him washing his Land Cruiser on the road.
MacCloud explained that the road at Mahdia is made mostly with loam, which is easily washed away; hence her telling him to stop.
She also told Kaieteur News that the accused has vast yard space and could have washed his vehicle there; but instead “he chooses to wash it on the road and then cuss me up when I talk to him about it.”
On that occasion, they both went to the Mahdia Police Station and “the police told him to go make a formal report.”
According to her, approximately one week after, she saw Johnson on the road and from a distance; he was making utterances and gesticulating. So when she got close to him, “I look at him and ask he what is he problem, and if he think anybody afraid of he.”
“After then I really can’t say what happened because after the first hit I fell to the ground. I want to believe they bank me because it was he, he son, and he wife was standing on the road. But I really can’t recall…the licks was so much.”
Mac Cloud, who is also a secretary of a youth organization and a volunteer health worker, said that when she went to the police station to make her report, the man walked in. She said that the police at the station “told me to go lang ya way and the man went into the station. But, even with me condition, dem ain’t keep he more than five minutes because by the time I walk out on the street he drove behind me and threatened to kill me, and say how he got the money to do what he want.”
The mother of three says that she now fears for her life and still seeks justice since three weeks after the incident her face is still black. “My hand hurts a lot and I spend a lot of money since. And to know that I going through all of this and not a thing ain’t happen to he, ain’t easy to live with.”
