DEAD: Sharon Scott

ONE month after 53-year-old Sharon Scott was burnt and chopped several times about her body by her reputed husband, she succumbed to her injuries.

She was, at the time, receiving treatment in the Burnt Care Unit of the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).

Scott of Ann’s Grove, East Coast Demerara, was injured during a domestic dispute with her common-law husband, Leon Bobb, 57, on September 21.

Their 21-year-old son Seon Bobb was fatally chopped by his father during the altercation.

According to the police, on September 21, noise was heard coming from the couple’s residence. Shortly after, Sharon was seen running up the road, drenched in blood, with Bobb, cutlass in hand, in hot pursuit and urging her to get back in the house.

As she ran, sources say, Scott could be heard shouting, “Leon chop Seon!”

As word spread, the woman’s daughter and son-in-law reportedly rushed to her aid and took her to the GPHC.

She sustained several chop wounds about her body and suffered first degree burns.

Bobb consumed a poisonous substance after the attack. He died while receiving treatment.
