ARTIE RAMKHELEWAN, the three-year-old girl who survived having her throat slit by her own father on Sunday, yesterday kept asking nurses attending to her at the San Fernando General Hospital, for her mother and father.
“She kept asking, ‘where my mommy and daddy?’ to the nurses who were monitoring her,” said a source at the hospital.
The source added that Artie is still in a serious but stable condition and because of the severity of her injuries, she would remain at hospital for a few more days. Apart from having her throat slit, little Artie was stabbed in the chest and arms. She is being monitored closely around the clock by doctors and nurses.
The girl was found in the backseat of the family car at Penal, bleeding and lying next to the cold body of her 26-year-old mother Aarika Bhim. Artie’s father Premnath Ramkhelawan, 25, committed suicide by hanging himself. His body was found at the back of the family Laltoo Trace, Penal home.
The mother, father and their young daughter were last seen alive at the wedding of a relative in Julien’s Village, Princes Town on Sunday night. Investigators believe that Ramkhelawan first stabbed to death his common-law year wife of five years before stabbing his daughter and slitting her throat.
This is indeed sad... A child left without parents and must now live with the emotional and physical scars for the rest of her life...
