Robbers slash Soesdyke man’s throat, stab Tuschen woman

Apr 03, 2014 News

Three persons are in serious condition at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) after separate stabbing incidents, including a suspected robbery.
Family of Ramrattie Bennie, 44, of Tuschen Housing Scheme, East Bank Essequibo, said she was stabbed several times while venturing outside her home around 05:30hrs to throw out garbage.
Two men were seen leaving the area and the woman was picked up shortly after and reportedly rushed to the West Demerara Regional Hospital before being transferred to the city.
It was unclear whether her attackers were waiting for her. There was no attempt to rob the home.
Family members said that the police were investigating the incident with no immediate motive known.
Meanwhile, a Soesdyke man was also in a critical condition after an attack while walking through a sandpit, on his way home along the Ideal Road.
Wesley John, 28, had only recently returned home from the hinterland where he reportedly works with a lumber company. His family said that he staggered into the home yesterday afternoon with blood all over his clothes.
It appeared that he was attacked as his silver chain was missing and there was a huge cut to his neck. It appeared that he was struggling with his attackers because his hands bore cut wounds, too.
Family members said that they went to a nearby sand pit area where they found John’s haversack and saw signs of a struggle.
He was in shock from loss of blood and was unable to provide any details. He was later rushed to the hospital.
The stabbing madness also did not spare Berbice.
Krishna Persaud, 47, was reportedly stabbed several times during a fight with his son.
Neighbours and relatives said that the man, a habitual drinker, had an argument with his son and he was allegedly attacked and stabbed several times. His son was also taken to the hospital for stabbed wounds.
