Pomona security guard charged after reputed wife set alight
Police have arrested and charged a security guard, after his reputed wife, who is battling for her life at the Georgetown Public Hospital, told them that he set her alight on Sunday last, at her Pomona Housing Scheme home.
Remanded: Alan Allicock
Sixty-four year-old Alan Allicock a/k ‘Ballie’, of Pomona Village on the Essequibo Coast, was yesterday charged with attempted murder. Allicock appeared before Magistrate Sunil Scarce at the Suddie Magistrate’s Court and was remanded to prison until April 9, when the case is expected to commence.
Allicock was represented by Attorney-at-law Latchmie Dindyal, who told the court that her client has three children and is not a flight risk.
Bail was however refused by Magistrate Scarce who indicated that the woman is in a critical state at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
The victim, 60-year-old,Tarwattie Ronie a/k ‘Data’, a domestic worker, sustained severe burns to her hands, feet and abdomen.
One of Ronie’s female neighbours who accompanied her to the Suddie Public Hospital on Sunday night last, related that the woman came over to her “in her night dress with her skin falling off” and told her that two masked men invaded her two-bedroom house, threw something on her and set her alight.
The woman related that doctors sought a transfer for the badly burnt to the Georgetown Public Hospital, the following day.
