HANDYMAN WITH A VIOLENT STREAK.

Tweet

He has worked with my family for years and we all know him to be a quiet, soft spoken man. He is the person we call whenever anything needs to be fixed in our home. He also tends the grounds, trimming our fruit trees, picking coconuts etc. However , last December there was some very unpleasant news about our handyman. We were informed that he had badly beaten his wife in a bar - leading to her hospitalization and him spending one night in jail. Everyone thought his wife would not make it, because according to eyewitnesses, he hit her in the head with a rock. We were further surprised when we heard that the wife left the hospital after two days and was again seen at the bar. We decided that we would have a talk with both of them , but only the wife responded to our message and turned up to tell her side of the story, - and according to her - the beatings have been a part of her life for years. We continued with our efforts to get a hold of our handyman, but to no avail. Then there was more terrible news. This time he beat his thirteen year-old daughter and kicked her in the head while wearing his work boots(he also does farming) . For that last act of violence, he spent Christmas in jail and has only recently been let out. We are very worried and frustrated because he is still ignoring our request to come and see us. Not only have we lost a very good handyman, but we are also worried about his future and the safety of his family. I Have met and spoken with this guy on countless occasions and it is still hard to believe that he has such a violent streak.
