Shot gold miner remains in critical condition

May 22, 2012 News

 

The 46-year-old man who was found in his bathroom with two gunshot wounds to his abdomen is now a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC)’s Intensive Care unit (ICU).
Kenneth Melville, a gold miner was found at his sister’s Lot 30 Tuschen Housing Scheme, East Bank Essequibo home around 12:00hrs last Monday.
According to information, he was found in a pool of blood by one of his sisters, Margaret Melville.
He was rushed to the Leonora Cottage Hospital and was subsequently transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he remains a patient in the hospital’s ICU.
Relatives, up to yesterday, were not aware of the circumstances leading to the gold miner being shot.
They were still trying to determine whether it was an act of attempted suicide or if someone went to the premises and shot him.
His sister, Carlotta Melville, claimed that she had spoken to her brother a few minutes before he was shot and he sounded “positive”. He gave no clue that he was about to shoot himself.
She also added that her brother had “picked up a woman” who was not “letting go.”
It is now unclear whether the act was done by the woman as “revenge” or whether it was attempted suicide.
