A medical technologist employed to a hospital in Montego Bay, St James, is said to be living in fear after being repeatedly threatened by another woman who has accused her of being in a relationship with her spouse.

The threats have reportedly escalated to the point where the med tech was sent a wreath and was threatened with acid burns if she continued the relationship.

THE WEEKEND STAR learnt that the hospital worker has allegedly been involved in a relationship with a man for some time. However, things took a turn for the worse when another woman, who claims to be the man's spouse, began telephoning her and issuing threats.

"She's really scared," a source at the hospital told The Weekend Star. "She's getting some serious threats and she's really living in fear for her life."

The source said, the defiant medical technologist repeatedly told the other woman there was no way she was going to leave the man.

The acid threats reportedly caused the med tech to change her spot in the hospital's parking lot and to start using the rear entrance. But her fears increased when one morning she was told that a package was delivered at the hospital for her. When she opened it she saw a wreath and a handwritten note stating: 'Leave mi man'.

The source said despite all the threats the med tech is still involved with the man.
