SHONETTE WILLIAMS fears for her life and says police are not treating her case with the urgency it deserves.
The 32-year-old mother of three has accused a former partner of making death threats, physically assaulting her and deliberating setting fire to her home.
She said she was physically attacked in Bridgetown a week ago, slapped in the face and threatened with death because she rejected his attempts to reconcile.  
She reported the incident and threat to her life to a police officer but her former lover of two years fled the scene.
The situation between the two reached an even more dangerous level over the weekend when a frightened Williams went to her home at Phillips Road, St Stephen’s Hill, Black Rock, St Michael, on Friday night accompanied by a family friend.
It was there that Williams was confronted by the man who had threatened to kill her and this time he was armed with a knife and enraged by the fact that another man was with her.
