Eighty-eight year old Iona Stuger,must be regretting opening her door to sell a man a block of ice yesterday morning.
After opening the door,the overseas-based Guyanese was stabbed and relieved of an undisclosed amount of cash by a lone bandit at about 10:15 hours.
This newspaper was told that Stuger was alone at her Plum Park, Sophia residence,when she responded to a rapping on her door.
Upon opening the door, Stuger was confronted by a knife-wielding bandit who demanded cash and other valuables.
When Stuger refused to comply, she was stabbed in the region of the left shoulder just as she was about to push in the door to keep the attacker out.
The man proceeded to ransack the woman’s house and quickly located an undisclosed sum of cash.
He subsequently fled hastily, leaving the knife and his cap behind, as the wounded pensioner raised an alarm. Stuger was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital where she received treatment at the accident and emergency unit.
Police are investigating.
