Instead, Paul wondered whether the man had come to claim her life in the same way her brother-in-law Courtney Crum-Ewing had been killed.And though the attack eventually turned out to indeed be a home robbery, Paul’s initial fear of a planned assassination is one that can only be understood by a handful of Guyanese.During an interview, Paul recounted that she had returned home at about 20:00hrs on Thursday with her young son. She said that she parked her car, opened the gate and quickly closed it behind her before removing her son from the vehicle. She then locked the vehicle and proceeded into the house with some bags and her son in tow.“I now turn to close the grille and as soon as I pull the grille now to bolt it, a man just appear in front of me in a mask…when he appear he pull open the grille and start assaulting me,” Paul said.She said the man’s mask completely covered his face and had two holes cut into it for his eyes.She added that the man kept up his assaults, propelling her back into her home.

I don’t know if he think twice to don’t do me anything but he just pull back,” she said. She said that the man looked around before picking up her gym bag and searching through it.
