A pregnant teen is in a serious condition at the Georgetown Public Hospital after she was stabbed several times by her boyfriend on Sunday at her mother’s home.

The 16-year-old, at the time of the incident, was staying at her mother’s home which is located on the East Coast of Demerara. The teen’s mother told the media that her daughter and the 24-year-old man had eloped two years ago and were living together, but following an argument the young lady returned home.

She stated that the young man visited her home and requested to speak with her daughter in private. The young lady agreed and the two then went upstairs. The mother was later alerted by a loud scream from her daughter summoning her. She then found her daughter lying in a pool of blood on the veranda with what appeared to be a cut to her throat and the young man standing over her. The mother added that the teen attempted to get up but was stabbed twice again.

The teen was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital where she is currently hospitalised in a stable condition. According to the mother, a police report was made but the family later decided to drop the matter after learning that the teenager was pregnant.
