A security guard attached to the Institute of Applied Science Technology (IAST) sustained a fractured skull, three broken ribs and a broken arm after he was severely beaten by four men on his worksite.
The incident occurred on May 23, last in Wauna, in the North West District. The man said he is not pleased with the way the matter is being dealt with by the police.
The injured man, Ronald Romascindo said that he had just reported for duty at the IAST compound when he heard a strange noise coming from the Manager’s quarters. Romascindo said he took his torchlight and went to the area from where heard the noise and was confronted by four men all of whom were armed with pieces of wood.
“Right away they run to me and start beating me. Even when I fall to the ground they still continue beating me until like I go unconscious and then between time I hear like them breaking in the building but I was on de ground tie up.”
Romascindo said that about an hour later one of his work colleagues arrived but after he heard groaning he became afraid and ran away.
“De man run away and I try shouting but he couldn’t hear me. A li’l while later he come back with another man and he wife but by da time I de done loose out me foot and start dragging going towards the gate and I call out fuh them when I see the light,”.
Romascindo was eventually taken to the Mabaruma Hospital where he was treated and it was only then he discovered that he had a large open wound to his head, a fractured skull, a broken arm and three broken ribs.
To add to his misery Romascindo said that he is upset with the sloth of the police. The man said that as far as he is aware the police never visited the site of the robbery and it was only Monday last after visiting the police station, he was able to give a statement on the incident.
The man said that he is hopeful that a thorough investigation will be conducted into the incident and his attackers be brought to justice.
