Brazilian woman shot in bar
– ‘Mother Cat’ in custody
A man who goes by the moniker ‘Mother Cat’ is now assisting the Bartica Police with their
Antonia Priscila Lamego Das Chagas
investigations into a shooting incident that occurred at the Top Notch Brasilian Bar, First Avenue, Bartica, around 23:00 hours Wednesday.
Twenty-four-year-old Antonia Priscila Lamego Das Chagas, of Manaus, Brazil, reportedly entered an agreement with a man who reportedly offered her $20,000 to have personal pleasure with her.
It is reported that the man then made unsuccessful demands for a total refund and became agitated. He reportedly whipped out a handgun and shot her in the lower left abdomen.
The woman underwent surgery yesterday at the Bartica Public Hospital to remove the bullet. Her condition up to last night was listed as stable.
People in the vicinity at the time of the shooting said that they had heard noisy, scuffling sounds coming from within the said building, and then a loud explosion followed by screams. They said that they saw the woman rushing into the bar area screaming hysterically and motioning to her left abdomen, where blood was trickling down through a hole in the jersey top she was wearing.
Bystanders rushed her to the hospital.
Residents in the area said that at times during the party sessions there, they would hear disruptively sharp and loud explosive sounds, and be assailed by the smell of narcotics.
Recently this very Top Notch Brasilian Bar was the focus of attention, when six Brazilian women were allegedly terrorised and raped by two men in a room on the upper flat of the building.
The women immediately departed Bartica the next day and averted any investigation into that matter. (Edward A Persaud)
