Jun 04, 2015 News

A girl has been forced to come to grips with the loss of her right eye, after a night of imbibing alcohol went horribly wrong and she was stabbed to the heart and eye by her friend.
Marissa Charlie, 23, of Tabatinga, Central Rupununi, is in a stable condition after she was air dashed to Georgetown yesterday morning.
According to reports, Charlie was imbibing alcohol near her home at 18:30hrs Tuesday night with two other friends, when a heated argument broke out between them.
The argument reached the point where the victim’s grandmother reprimanded them for the commotion.  It is then that the assailant went inside for a knife.
The suspect, who is said to be just 16 years of age, then proceeded to stab Charlie in the region of the heart. When the injured girl collapsed, the assailant then stabbed her former friend to the right eye.
The girl was rushed to the Lethem hospital, thence to the Georgetown Public Hospital via a Trans Guyana flight. She was admitted to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, where she underwent emergency surgery.
According to a source, the Doctor who operated on the girl had ruled that the girl’s eye was completely damaged, to the point of her not being able to use it ever again, corrobating what was alleged to have been said at the Lethem hospital.
The suspect is said to be in police custody at Lethem assisting with investigations.
Only two weeks ago, a girls’ night out ended in murder when an intoxicated woman stabbed her best friend to death with a broken bottle after they had left a resort in good spirits.
Lloyda Renita Thomas, of Sunflower Close, South Ruimveldt, was stabbed to the stomach and head by her close friend, Angelina, over a spat seating arrangements in a car.
