She took to social media, detailing the violence endured at the hands of her partner, prompting a Police investigation.
In an emotional and detailed Facebook post, Joanna, who recently fled the abusive household with her two children, recounted the evolution of her relationship with Sukhan — from romance in 2018 to repeated brutality by 2019.
Despite filing five separate reports with the police, Joanna said she was met with indifference and ridicule. One officer at the New Amsterdam Police Station, she claimed, went as far as to blame her for staying.
Region Six Police Commander Shivpersaud Bacchus has since assured the public that disciplinary actions will be taken against the officer in question and that every effort is being made to apprehend Sukhan.
