Dead is Dionne
Skeete, a mother of four, of Enmore, East Coast
Demerara. Relatives, who gathered at the home
yesterday refused to comment stating that any
reports would be psychologically damaging to the
children.
While details are
sketchy, this newspaper was told that Skeete and
the assailant were at the Guinness Bar in Enmore
on Saturday night. She later left and went home.
Reports are that after not seeing her, her
brother went to the home and saw her lying down.
She reportedly told him that she was feeling
unwell and was rushed to the Georgetown Public
Hospital. She died at around 3am yesterday.
This newspaper
was told that Skeete had been beaten and her
body bore marks. Villagers said that she was
constantly physically abused by the man. It is
unclear if he was taken into police custody.
