Police are in the process of instituting charges against the 17-year-old who they say is responsible for almost severing his friend’s right hand on Thursday night, at Macnaab.
Senior ranks at Anna Regina who are currently preparing charges against the teenager have said that charges ranging from inflicting grievous bodily harm with added intention to harm and maim 17-year-old Terrence Sandy will be instituted. Sandy will be discharged in the new week from hospital.
Sandy was chopped to his right hand and his head by the teenager with whom he was imbibing alcohol with at a rum shop, at Lima Sands, on the Essequibo Coast.
Reports are the 17-year-old who chopped Sandy had armed himself with a cutlass, which suggested that he had intended to use his weapon on Sandy since the two had old grievances.
