Woman stabs three on Christmas morning

Dec 27, 2009 News

– sexual advances sparked incident

By Brushell Blackman

Two young people are now hospitalised after a woman went on a stabbing rampage early Christmas morning at the Stabroek Market area.

Colin Carbon, 20, of 53 Joseph Pollydore Street, Lodge, and Rayon Ali, 18 are now patients of the Georgetown Public Hospital and Woodlands Hospitals respectively. Another youth, Seon Haywood, was slashed on the hand but he was treated at a medical institution and sent away.

Recounting what transpired before and after the incident, Carbo, from his hospital bed in the High Dependency Unit (HDU) of the Georgetown Hospital, told Kaieteur news that the incident stemmed from an issue over his brother, Rayon Ali’s friend making advances to the sister of the assailant.

Carbon said that he along with the Ali, Haywood and others were imbibing at a stall, along with the stabber, the stabber’s sister and the sister’s fiancé.

He said that his brother’s friend made sexual advances to the stabber’s sister not realising that the woman’s partner was nearby witnessing what was taking place.

From all accounts these advances did not sit well with the assailant who flew into a rage and confronted Ali and his friend.

According to Carbon upon seeing this he intervened and by this time the partner of the woman joined the confrontation.

The youth said that he spoke to all parties and he chided his brother and his friend for their behaviour. “I tell them man rest deh self and lef de girl”.

He said that he got the impression that the matter was resolved, since the woman’s boyfriend apparently understood. However, the assailant was not satisfied and according to him started going on ‘at a rate’.

The woman armed then herself with a bottle and threw it at Ali. She missed him but the bottle shattered into a nearby wall resulting in a piece of the flake cutting the teen on his neck.

The assailant then pounced on the helpless teen and started stabbing him even as he lay bleeding on the ground.

By this time another fight broke out between the assailant’s sister, her boyfriend and some other men. Carbon said that after he saw the woman stabbing his brother he went to his aid pushing the woman away in an effort to save his life.

The woman then turned her weapon on Carbon, stabbing him twice, once in his back and another in the side. The youth said that he only realised that he was stabbed when he felt a burning sensation around the back and saw blood gushing from the wounds.

“When I look down I see me guts (intestine) coming out and I push it back in”. He said that upon seeing that, self preservation stepped in and he managed to drag himself some distance away even as persons were trying to restrain the violent and advancing woman. Carbon believes that it was at that point that the third youth was stabbed.

He said persons could have loss their lives at the hands of the woman who was not the one affected by what was a simple incident.

He said that he managed to get into a taxi around the area and was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he underwent emergency surgery to repair the damage to his intestines.

At the hospital, Carbon was taking intravenous drips and a machine was monitoring his heart rate. He said that he may have to undergo another surgery but this is dependent on the effectiveness of the medication that he is currently using.

Carbon said that he only knows the stabber by seeing her sometimes around the area but he does not know her name and her whereabouts.

He is at a loss to explain the violent fit of rage that the woman exhibited.

In the meantime Rayon Ali remains a patient at the Woodlands Hospital.

Carbon said that the woman, her sister and the man fled the scene soon after the incident. Up to press time no arrests were made.
