| The People’s National Congress Reform is accusing the Ministries of Home Affairs and Human Services of failing in their obligation to protect women.In a recent public statement by the Party’s Presidential Candidate, David Granger, it was noted that women are not being protected from the spate of murders which have rocked mainly rural communities so far for this year.“It should be apparent that the present law-enforcement measures with respect to the human security of persons at risk are not functioning.”Referring to information published in some sections of the media it showed that one woman has been killed on average every fortnight.“The body count of murdered women this year,Authentic NFL Jerseys Wholesale China, shamefully, is rising; nine have been murdered within the past eighteen weeks.”Saleema Mohan, 21, a teacher, was stabbed to death by her reputed husband, on January 3; Shaunell Warwick, a nursery-school teacher died after suffering a brutal cutlass beating, allegedly at the hands of her reputed husband on January 31; Natalie Loncke,Authentic Jerseys Cheap, 41,Authentic NFL Jerseys Cheap, also a nursery-school teacher, was stabbed to death by her partner; Ramdarrie Rajpattie, 57,Cheap Jerseys USA, was beaten to death by her reputed husband; Farida Ramdeen, called ‘Susie’, 22, was slain by her lover and dumped in a canal on the Houston Estate; Sonobia James was stabbed to death outside a nightspot during an argument with her partner; Neibert Issacs-Bacon, a Special Constable, was beaten to death and dumped in a canal in Sophia; Prampattie Ramsundar, called ‘Auntie Daro’, was murdered in her home at Enmore; and Khirul Najidam, 74, called ‘Babloo Saddick’, was found bound and gagged in her home.In addition to current ‘wife-murders’, there have been several rural ‘rape-murders’ in previous years.
