Woman stabbed, son abducted in St James

A St James woman was abducted from her home at knifepoint early in the morning of October 11 and repeatedly stabbed by a man she knows.

She managed to escape her attacker and was taken for treatment.

The suspect returned to her home and abducted the victim's 12-year-old son before fleeing to a forested area.

Anna Ellis, 40, of Dibe Road, Long Circular, was attacked at her home by the man around 2 am , according to her mother, Carol.

She said the man forced her daughter out of the house at knifepoint.

When Ellis tried to resist, he stabbed her multiple times in her back, legs and feet, the woman said.

A police manhunt is now on for the suspect and the 12-year-old form one student.

Although eight hours has passed since her grandson was taken, Carol said she was trusting in God to keep the child safe.

This is a developing story and will be updated when more information becomes available.
