SALLY KHAN, a mother of two was not prepared for the beating she received at the hands of her ex-husband and his girlfriend on Wednesday when she went to his Peter’s Hall, East Bank Demerara, home to pick up her children.

Khan told reporters that she is now very fearful for her life, pointing out that her children witnessed the savage beating she received.

The abuse started during an argument with her husband. At the time she had journeyed to her ex-husband’s residence to collect their two children, ages five and 11 years old.

During the argument, she was pulled into the yard by her hair. Khan related that she was then thrown to the ground and her ex-husband’s girlfriend sat on her and began slapping her in the face.

After the slapping finished, she was reportedly tied to a chair and beaten in the head and face with a gun by her ex-husband, causing her to lose consciousness.

He then tried to strangle her by placing a rope around her neck, but decided to throw water on her after recognising she was in an unconscious state.

The girlfriend of the ex-husband then swept way the blood in the yard and when Khan regained consciousness, she found herself outside the yard. The police were summoned.

The ex-husband, the girlfriend and the victim were taken to the Providence Police Station where they were all charged and placed on $10,000 bail each and made their first court appearance at the Providence Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday.

They will make their second court appearance at the same court on January 15, 2018.

Khan is calling for justice. Also, being a single mother, she is unable to hire a lawyer to represent her in court and is asking for assistance in this regard.
