A 47-year-old man is now at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), nursing a stab wound to his chest. The report is that the wound was inflicted by his friend.
Joseph Vangronigen, also known as Betsy, was stabbed around 07:00 hrs yesterday, while he was engaged in a conversation with two friends at “Four Corner” in Melanie Damishana North, East Coast Demerara.
One of his friends, Fitzroy Henry, who claimed to be an eyewitness, said that he, Betsy and another man were “gaffing” at the corner when another friend came and started to dance to the music that was playing at a house nearby.
Henry explained that while one of them was dancing, they continued their conversation.
“When we de gaffing, none a we didn’t see anything but I hear like a loud stab and when I turn I see Betsy holding he chest and blood coming out,” Henry recalled.
Vangronigen was immediately rushed to the GPHC by a neighbour who also witnessed the episode while Henry and his other friend followed Jermaine and later found him hiding in Buxton.
He was subsequently handed over to the police.
When Kaieteur News visited the hospital yesterday, the 47-year-old man was still undergoing surgery.
Friends and family members of the victim were told that doctors are battling to save his life.
