Girlfriend alleged to have run down her partner with a car in Parham
An investigation is currently underway by the police regarding a case of attempted murder.
The incident involved the use of a car as a weapon. The victim, a woman from Parham, was reportedly attacked by another female, who is believed to be her girlfriend.
According to reports, the victim lodged a complaint at the Parham Police Station, stating that she was struck by a Toyota Vitz driven by a woman from Villa. As a result of the impact, she flipped over the car and fell into a gutter, sustaining injuries to her back and head.
The offense took place in Parham at approximately 12:45 a.m. on February 19. It is alleged that the victim and her girlfriend had a disagreement earlier that night at the residence of the Villa woman.
The victim then took her girlfriend’s cell phone and left. Later, the assailant used another phone to inform the Parham woman that she was at her residence in Parham, causing damage.
The victim went to check on her house and discovered that her door had been kicked in and damaged.
While on her way to the police station to report the incident, her girlfriend, who was allegedly driving the Toyota Vitz, turned on the vehicle’s lights and accelerated towards her, striking her from behind with the car. Fortunately, a friend helped the Parham woman out of the gutter and took her to the Police Station.
Subsequently, she had to be transported to the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre by the Emergency Medical Services (EMS).
Despite efforts to locate the alleged offender, a search yielded no success.
