15-year-old accused of stabbing step-father goes into hiding
As 47-year-old Winston Christiani remains at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) recovering from a stab wound to his back, reports are that his 15-year-old stepson who is responsible for his condition, has been sent away.
Injured Winston Christiani
In an interview with Kaieteur News on Monday last, the Cevon’s Waste Management employee explained, that he has since got word that his reputed wife “Tyra”, has sent the child into the interior to avoid being arrested.
“She brother call me and tell me that she sen’ de boy in the bush,” the injured man said.
Around 19:00 hours on Friday, during an argument with his wife, Christiani’s 15-year-old stepson stabbed him in his back and fled the scene. The injury has affected the man’s spine, leaving his right leg paralysed.
The day before the stabbing, Christiani confronted his wife, whom he found in the company of another man. The two exchanged words, and Christiani thought that that was the end of the matter.
However, upon returning home from work the next day, he said that his wife began to “pick on him” after he decided not to give her any money. It was then that she took his cell phone, hid it in her pants, and refused to give it back to him.
He claimed that in an effort to retrieve the phone, he held onto her, and that was when the 15-year-old stabbed him in his back.
Christiani said that the young man was sent to live with him and his mother at his Block 22 Wismar, Linden home, after his grandmother could not control him.
“This li’l boy don’t even go to school no more. He livin’ in de house with me and he thiefin’ up all my things. He is out of control. Nobody can control him.”
The young man has been involved in many criminal activities, the most recent being a burglary. He is said to have broken into and stole many valuable items from his uncle’s home in Linden.
Christiani said that the child is currently on probation for the offence, and was set to report to the police station at Linden on the day of the stabbing.
