A PREGNANT secondary school teacher in Chimbu is recovering in hospital after surviving a vicious attack by a former boyfriend on Monday.
Linda Perry, 25, who teaches business and computer studies at the Kerowagi Secondary School, is three-months pregnant. She is recovering at the Sir Joseph Nombri Memorial Hospital in Kundiawa after her ex-boyfriend attacked her in the school compound.
Attempts to get comments from Chimbu police commander Supt Horim Piamia were unsuccessful.
The man who fled to Jiwaka after the attack was brought back by his relatives on Wednesday and handed over to Kundiawa police who have remanded him.
The woman’s father, Perry Degelmba, said the ex-boyfriend had previously threatened Linda and her current boyfriend.
Degelmba said the man was drunk and waiting for her at the gate of the school as she was leaving for home. He said Linda was dragged into a banana garden where she was stabbed repeatedly.
“He continued to stab her all over her back, head and armpits. She had nine deep wounds,” Degelmba said.
He said the man fled the scene afterwards leaving his daughter bleeding. Neighbours took her to the Kerowagi Health Centre. Kerowagi Secondary School principal Samuel Kono said Linda was transferred to the Sir Joseph Nombri Memorial Hospital where she underwent emergency surgery.
Degelmba said the ex-boyfriend was jealous of his daughter and had even fought with the new boyfriend.
