Oumar Lam Tried To Sacrifice His Girlfriend
February 1, 2009 by Jaded
Oumar Lam (
Seattle, WA–Relationships can be a real pain in the neck sometimes…just when you think everything is peachy keen, you return home from work one day only to have your boyfriend slit your throat and try to murder you in a ritualistic fashion. Maybe being single isn’t so bad after all.
When Heidi Gardner arrived home from work on SundaySunday reviews
, she found her live-in boyfriend, 31-year-old Oumar Lam, lying naked on a couch near a candle-lit altar. Ok, I have to admit, naked guy on the couch…no problem. Altar? Problem. Anyway, HeidiHeidi reviews retreated to the bedroom to change clothes. She stopped for a minute to pet her dog when Lam attacked her from behind. He pulled a pillowcase over her head and covered her mouth in an attempt to smother her. He then sliced her neck open with a kitchen knife. He began screaming at her in another language. Let me pause in the story to point out that Lam claims to be from Dakar, Senegal. The official language of Senegal is French. Was he screaming in French? I have no clue, whatever language he was speaking, no one understood.
Heidi tried to fight him off, to no avail. Lam dragged her into the living room and toward the altar. Then he stabbed her some more…in the chest, lower back, and shoulder. Heidi managed to get a hold of her cell phone and dialed 911. She ran to the bathroom to rinse the blood off…Lam followed. He tried to throw her in the bathtub. He kept screaming, ‘Die, die and go alone. You have to go by yourself.’ I don’t know about you, but I am totally creeped out just imagining it.
Heidi feared Lam was going to sacrifice her life in some kind of religious ritual. She grabbed her coat and ran from the apartment. She started banging on doors and screaming for help. Lam, still stark naked, caught up with her and dragged her back to the apartment. Several neighbors witnessed the scene and called 911.
Officers arrived at the home to find Heidi weak and dizzy from blood loss…she was holding a shirt to her neck, trying to staunch the flow of blood. She still had some fight left in her though, and she darted out the door. When officers tried to arrest Lam, he became even more agitated and began speaking in an unknown language again. When questioned by investigators, Lam wouldn’t explain why he was trying to kill his girlfriend.
On Wednesday, prosecutors filed first-degree assault charges against Lam, with sentencing enhancements for domestic violence, and the use of a deadly weapon. Requesting that bail be set at $1 million in the attack, Deputy Prosecutor David Gross described the incident in court documents as a ‘vicious attack (that) shows that the defendant is an immeasurable threat to the community.’ Ya think? Bail has not been set in the case because Lam has refused to attend two hearings. He is scheduled to be arraigned February 8, and faces 10 to 13 years in prison if convicted. Not nearly enough time, if you ask me.
Heidi underwent emergency surgery after the incident and is expected to recover. Heidi, if you happen to read this, I wish you a speedy recovery girl…I’m glad you’re still among the living.

Ummm… why not attempted MURDER charge? He specifically said “die, die and go alone”… and it was purty damned obvious he was trying to kill her. Hell, how many times did this asshole chase her down? How many times did he slice at her throat? C’mon… those were wounds inflicted to KILL!
Odds are, he’ll get a psych eval and be found unfit to stand trial. I hope not though.
Poor girl. Good for her for not freezing in the face of so much freakishness! I hope she heals 100% and with counseling, can get her life back on track.
Scary mo’fo.

Glad to know he is not on the lam……. (Sorry!)
Wishing Heidi Gardner a speedy recovery from her ordeal. Admiration for her fight-back, too. Well done! And get well soon.

My sister is married to but separated from a crazy guy from Senegal…he speaks a language called Wolof…I hope Heidi gets better soon and stays as far away from Oumar as possible…He should be going to jail for a lot longer than 10-13 that is ridiculous.

Makes me glad I’m single. It’s scary to think of all the nut cases running loose. Yep, definitely staying single. Poor girl.
=)

Assault??? What a joke. This was clearly an attempt to kill her. David Gross needs to pull his head out of his ass.
1:14 pm on February 1st, 2009
Wow,
That’s one scary story.
I hope this guy gets attempted murder and is kept off the streets.
I wonder if he was having some weird voodoo flashback or something?
This is just unexplainable.Normal,sane people do not set up an alter and and attempt murder.
I also wonder if she saw any signs of his craziness before this incident
1:18 pm on February 1st, 2009
I hope so too! I am glad the dogs did not become his victims/sacrifices also!
This is really creepy! Gave me the shivers! I agree that he should be getting an attempted murder charge. He clearly intended to kill her! Crazy ass Freak!

His myspace page says his hero’s is himself ?? and he likes reading Nietzche and Machiavelli . That pretty much tells you what kind of Nutter this douche bag is.
I originally thought he was practicing some form of ” Animism ” but that wouldnt fit with his obsession with Nietzche.

agree- Gross do you need a crow bar?
makes you wonder how he would have celebrated Valentine’s Day
one Oumer sicko

OMG WTF is going on these days!!Hes probrably faking the Psychotic part of it.If he was able to think of being naked so no blood would be on his clothes I have a feeling hes going to to play the insane card.But in my opinion he showed premeditation by being naked but Im not a lawyer so who knows~!!

Ummm…. What? Really?? And she never saw it coming? Drugs? Nevertheless – He needs his ass kicked.

why not run OUT THE DOOR?! Away from this psycho!
Grabbed her coat…I don’t know about y’all…if I come home and BF on couch naked, in dark, altar nearby…this don’t sound romantic to me! I am not going in much less sticking around! You gotta know people before you live w/ them and play house – that includes knowing where he came from, his family, his beliefs, his criminal history might be helpful too! What a psycho. Hope she recovers quickly and gets over this asshole.

@ Nadine
What is it especially about men from Senegal that makes you wary? Apart from this incident, of course? I noticed Cheyjaylanman has also got a bad experience to relate with another individual from Senegal, but that only makes two examples, and I somehow doubt they represent the entire male population of Senegal……

911: “911 Emergency, how may I help you?”
Neighbor: “Umm, yeah. There is a naked black man chasing a white woman down the street with a butcher knife.”
911: What’s he look like?”
Neighbor: “Umm, a small, dirty looking Lenny Kravitz. Actually, he looks like the guy from Police Academy 5, Citizens on Patrol.”
911: “The part with the witch doctor in the back of the truck bringing the zombie back to life?”
Neighbor: “That would be the one!”
911: “What’s your location?”
Neighbor: “Liberaltown, USA
Neighbor: “Ut oh, seems like he caught her…”
911: “What’s he doing now?”
Neighbor: “He’s dragging her back to the house by her hair caveman style.”
911: “Maybe you should try to help her?”
Neighbor: “Hello? I said Liberaltown, USA. I’m a consciousness objector to violence.”
911: “You mean a coward?”
Neighbor: “Right…”
Neighbor: “You better hurry up, I think I see the boiling pot he’s going to cook her in.”
911: “We’ll get someone there right away.”
Neighbor: “I’ll start the popcorn.”
911: “Bye.”
911: “Officers, go to 145 Douche-bag Way Liberaltown, USA. Suspect is the usual. Be advised, subject is shaking his rape stick and threatening voodoo curses.”

Neighbor: “Liberaltown, USA

911: “What’s he doing now?”
Neighbor: “He’s dragging her back to the house by her hair caveman style.”

Neighbor: “Hello? I said Liberaltown, USA. I’m a consciousness objector to violence.”
911: “You mean a coward?”
What the fuck does this have to do with political ideology? Do you really think only liberals are not inclined to help in situations like this? Um, make that almost everyone every time you hear about one of these cases. Oooh, liberals love criminals and are latte-drinking, pansy-ass cowards!
How original. Spoken like someone whose only experience with so-called “liberals” is listening to Rush Limbaugh bitch and moan about them every day.
Guess what? The stereotype you have of liberals? It doesn’t really exist. There are all types of people who subscribe to a progressive ideology, some good and some bad. Whether you’re “liberal” or “conservative” does not necessarily define you as a person.
However, it DOES seem to define you as a person, since you seem the type to view everything through a tiresome, liberal vs. conservative prism. Why do I think that? Because it’s bizarre “liberalism” even entered your mind immediately after reading this story.
Yawn.

thanks Veronica, for typing everything that I wanted to.
Oh and like 911 would ever tell the caller to “go help.” Ugh, that was somehow the most unbelievable part of it all
11:30 am on February 4th, 2009
I do have to wonder why no one tried to help at all. I guess you don’t want to put yourself in danger, but I don’t know if I could live with myself (especially if she would of died) if I hadn’t even tried something.

What the fuck is a “consciousness objector”? LMFAO While poking fun at others you might want to speak proper English so as not to look like a tool. Just a little PSA from your good friend HotReadingMama
