A 27-year-old pregnant woman accused of stabbing her child's father in the eye with a kitchen knife, was remanded in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday.

Keneisha Russell, a Kingston 14 resident, is charged with assault occasioning grievous bodily harm.

Allegations are that on March 23, she and the complainant were at home having discussions about the baby. It is alleged that the accused got angry when the man told her he was unable to give her the money she had requested. She reportedly began to curse and told him that she was breaking up with him.

The court heard that Russell became enraged, grabbed a knife and began stabbing the complainant, who held on to her. She continued stabbing, so he ran outside. It is alleged that the accused stabbed at the complainant another time and it was when he felt the pain that he realised that he had been stabbed.

The complainant had a bandage over his right eye yesterday. He said the eye was completely removed. He also revealed that he had spent three days in the hospital. The complainant, who was sitting at the back of the court, asked someone to touch the accused, who seemingly found it hard to look at him as she turned away quickly and then burst into tears.

The medical report detailing the complainant's injuries was not yet on file so the matter was set to be mentioned again on April 12.
