Giles told Kaieteur News that the attack stemmed from him requesting that the music in his home be turned off as it was very late in the night.
He said that while he advanced toward the music player his wife kept standing in his way so as to prevent him from turning the music off. “I gave her a li’l shove and she fell down because the floor had a sudden drop… They don’t know that, so they believe I pushed her for her to fall down.”
