Businesswoman attacks GWI employee with chopper over illegal connection
A Guyana Water Inc. employee got the scare of her life when she was

confronted recently by a popular Robb Street businesswoman who threatened to chop her up because she had spoken about water being wasted from an illegally connected tap.
The situation, the named GWI worker said, erupted from previous confrontations the businesswoman had with persons known to her. She also said that the serious situation is being given the Nelson eye by the ranks at the Alberttown Police Station where a report was made.
The woman said that on the day of the incident she went to the home of one Mrs. Monica Mohamed on Robb Street to transact tailoring business behind the businesswoman’s residence. But as she walked up the path leading to the Mohamed’s house she slipped and fell because of the running water that continuously flows from the illegal pipeline.
The water service employee said that she spoke to no one but mentioned to herself that “this wasting water should be reported because people could really hurt themselves.” The employee said she continued to Mohamed’s house and after completing her business started up the street.
The worker said she was alerted that someone was behind her when she felt a sharp edged, cold metal on her back. She said she spun and it was the businesswoman holding a chopper threatening, “I am the owner of this butcher shop, I will chop ya ***** up; you don’t know me.”
The worker said that the woman’s husband also came out and held her by the collar.
According to the GWI staff, she made a report to the police station but the woman is still to be charged even after returning to the station to complain that on her next visit to Robb Street the businessman had spat on her as she went to Mohamed’s home.
“There has never been a court date. The police are not contacting me about any investigation or such.”
Monica Mohamed said that it was a regular scenario with the businesswoman. She said that it is not the first time that the woman and her husband had attacked someone. “In fact the woman ran my husband with a chopper some time back and threw pepper sauce on a young man because he was speaking to us.”
“And ever since the illegal connection was reported to GWI, the business owners have chopped our pipeline more than two times, but GWI always repairs it. Now they have illegal connections running to the side of their house.”
Mohamed said there is an ongoing issue with the business persons. This landed them in the High Court because of the constant wastage of water that lodges in her yard.
Mohamed continued that it is difficult to get any assistance from the Alberttown Police Station.
