BRAIN Hutchins, who was arrested for the brutal attack he carried out on his 28-year-old ex-partner, on March 7, 2020, at Leonora, West Coast Demerara (WCD), has escaped from police custody.

Hutchins, of Uitvlugt Side Line Dam, WCD, was nabbed by police on Saturday 11, 2020, and was kept in custody at the Leonora Police Station.

Regional Commander, Assistant Commissioner, Simon McBean, told the Guyana Chronicle that on Sunday 12,2020, at around 11:00hrs, Hutchins escaped and is still on the run.

According to reports, Hutchins and the victim shared a relationship which ended in June 2018, due to constant abuse.

On March 7, the victim was walking with her 14-year-old nephew in the vicinity of the Leonora Market when she was attacked. Her sister worked at a nearby bar and they were going to accompany her home from work, due to it being almost midnight.

However, Hutchins came out from behind a container and attacked the victim. He dealt her several cuffs about her body and face before making good his escape. The victim was picked up in an unconscious state and rushed to the Leonora Cottage Hospital but was later transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation and later discharged.

It is alleged that Hutchins was jealous and had threatened to kill the woman after they had separated.

Hutchins is also wanted for assaulting a police officer and escaping from police custody. A warrant has been issued by a magistrate for his arrest after he failed to attend court for a similar matter.
