Three peo­ple were in­jured on Mon­day af­ter­noon when a man armed with a cut­lass at­tacked them at a home in Cunu­pia.

Around 3.30 pm, the vic­tims were at a house on William Trace, when the at­tack­er, iden­ti­fied as the es­tranged hus­band of one of the vic­tims, stormed the premis­es. The man, who has a pro­tec­tion or­der against him, al­leged­ly chopped a 26-year-old male rel­a­tive sev­er­al times, sev­er­ing part of his right thumb.

Two fe­male rel­a­tives aged, 55, and 26, in­ter­vened to help but were al­so wound­ed. The es­tranged wife of the at­tack­er, re­ceived cuts to both legs.

The sus­pect fled in a sil­ver Mit­subishi Lancer but re­turned min­utes lat­er with two oth­er men and is­sued death threats be­fore leav­ing again.

All three vic­tims were tak­en to the Ch­agua­nas Health Fa­cil­i­ty. None of the in­juries were con­sid­ered life-threat­en­ing.

Po­lice vis­it­ed the scene and ob­tained med­ical cer­tifi­cates for all vic­tims.

Ef­forts to lo­cate the sus­pect have so far been un­suc­cess­ful. In­ves­ti­ga­tions are on­go­ing.

During my consultation with Ms Brafit CEO Nicole Joseph-Chin, what was supposed to be a simple mastectomy bra fitting became something much deeper. Her thoughtful questions unlocked emotions I didn’t even realise I was holding in. She comforted, reassured, and helped me face the truth of what was coming. That bra wasn’t just clothing—it was the first real symbol of life after surgery.
