Robbery real motive behind pit bull attack – victim
The Injured Dwayne Kyte who received a chop on his hand
Businesswoman, Amanda Kyte of lot 33 James Street, Albouystown has refuted allegations made in a recent article captioned “Albouystown residents in fear of “Killer pit bull” which was published Monday.
According to the distraught woman, on Friday last, some time after 16:00hrs a police patrol vehicle visited her business establishment “Amanda’s Pride and Grocery,” and from there the police decided to visit the Allicock family in Albouystown.
“When the car drive off from where the Allicock family was, two persons come over to my shop saying that we were police cochore. One was White Boy and the other was Ruku. They started pelting down my shop with bricks and bottles. I then closed the shop and went to Ruimveldt Police Station and the police said they would send someone to investigate,” she said
The woman said that the same day, after 22:00hrs, five men visited her shop. Miss Kyte said she was threatened that she would be robbed. The men then began lashing the padlocks on her shop which resulted in her calling the police once more. Nobody was arrested the same night.
She added that on Saturday morning, about 9:30 hrs she opened the business and five men approached her shop. She said that they were armed with four cutlasses and a handgun. Two of the men then entered her shop while the others jumped into the yard.
“The men are known in the area as Buck, Channa, Orlando, and Kevin they are part of the Allicock family. And there was another named Terrence.”
She said that after the lone gunman grabbed her by the breast and placed a gun to her neck, she explained that she shouted for her brother, Dwayne Kyte, who rushed down and a scuffled ensued causing him to receive a chop on his right hand during the process.
“After Channa chopped my brother, they grabbed my bag and left. I realized later that my husband, Colin Hooper, was chopped on his fingers, shin bone and behind his neck. They say they want to take off his neck!” Colin Hooper is presently in police custody.
“In the yard a guy name Pollydore who owns the pit bull dog was feeding the dog, and after they run in the yard that is how the dog end up biting up Kevin Allicock who was one of the five robbers, and he chopped the dog in retaliation.”
She then carried her husband and brother to the Ruimveldt Police Station after the chopping. Miss Kyte further said the police sent them to the hospital and requested that they return.
“I carried them to the hospital and an x-ray was taken at a private hospital, my brother was given emergency surgery along with other costs that run the bill to over $400,000. My brother was discharged yesterday and my husband was taken into police custody.”
Miss Kyte said that “Ruku, Channa and Terrence” are in police custody also while the other two are yet to be apprehended.
She declared that all said in the previous article relating to her husband Colin Hooper was a lie. “They are claiming that just like how they killed others they will kill we.”
“These men don’t work anywhere; they don’t have a source of income. They rob people and kill people; they always boast that they can go into jail and they have nothing to lose.”
