Fowl Cock row … Mother remains on life machine, son discharged
Abiola Edie
Martin Barker, who was shot twice in the chest, five days ago by his neighbour, following a row over “fowl cocks” was yesterday discharged from the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
However, his mother, Abiola Edie remained a patient in the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU), in a critical condition.
Edie’s mother, Pamela Edie, told Kaieteur News yesterday that her daughter is still battling for her life and she is depending on the support of a life machine, while her attacker is still on the run.
She claimed that ever since the incident, her daughter’s condition has not improved a bit and she is praying for her recovery.
Last Wednesday, Barker’s neighbour accused him of stealing one of his “game cocks”. The young man’s mother came out to defend him but the argument got heated and their neighbour went into his house, collected his gun and shot Barker twice before shooting Edie in her face. The two injured persons were rushed to the hospital where they were admitted.
The police have since launched a manhunt for the shooter.
