A 15-year-old Essequibo lass of the Onderneeming Housing Scheme, being five months’ pregnant, was admitted to the Suddie Hospital on Saturday after she tried to punch the unborn baby in her womb with a knife in a macabre attempt at suicide.Reports are that this teenager had to be constantly monitored by doctors and nurses while she was in the hospital.

She has now been discharged from the health institution, but several residents of the Onderneeming Red Village are calling for pastors to pray and talk to the frustrated teenager, who still has to be closely monitored by relatives. (Prabhulall)
