A 48-year-old gold miner survived after he was stabbed in his abdomen by a colleague around 08:00am Friday in Mahdia. Injured and a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) is Rockliffe Hills of Lot 723 Joseph Pollydore Street, Lodge.
Yesterday, from his hospital bed, the man recalled his tragic experience that day. He said that he woke up early and went down in a pit, when the foreman notified him that something was missing from the grocery box.
“I left and I went upstairs and me and the foreman talk and then a worker go downstairs and tell someone that I tumble up a bag,” the Lodge resident claimed.
He added that he went downstairs and confronted the man, who linked him to the “scandal,” “I didn’t see he had a knife and he just pull it and stick it into me.”
Kaieteur News was told that police were unable to capture the man who stabbed Hills.
