Battered woman comes forward to protect attacker - chairman - 04-19-2012
Although still exhibiting signs of a severely battered woman, Eureka Garraway yesterday
insisted that reports of a recent attack she suffered at the hands of her boyfriend have been grossly misrepresented in the media.
She is pointing fingers at one of her relatives, claiming that the individual exaggerated the truth.
Reports published extensively by this newspaper and other sections of the media earlier this month revealed that the 38-year-old woman was severely beaten with a hammer by her boyfriend, Joseph Taylor.

Reports are that relatives found her in an unconscious state in a relative’s Non Pareil, East Coast Demerara home. It is alleged that in addition to being beaten with a hammer about her head by the perpetrator, he also inflicted wounds with a knife.

Garraway was rushed to St Joseph Mercy Hospital where she remained a patient for four days during which time she was disoriented and appeared to have been suffering from memory loss, one relative said.
Police subsequently issued a wanted bulletin for Taylor who is said to be a vendor and has had associations with the local and regional sports fraternity.

She was insistent that no one forced her to clear her boyfriend’s name. Garraway said that it was only a few days ago that she became aware of what was published in the media.
“Is one of me nieces tell me how a set of things get published in the newspaper and so I decide to come and clear up the situation.â€
