Simple request leads to brutal chopping

Jul 11, 2015 News

Aside from the many shootings in Guyana there have been a number of malicious woundings with the use of other weapons.
One of the latest additions to the string of brutality is a cutlass attack which left one man critical and bearing multiple chop wounds about his body at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
According to reports, Michael Dowray, 32, of Main Street, Cumberland, Berbice, received gaping wounds which a group of men and women had inflicted upon him following an argument at a ‘rum shop’ moments earlier.
Kaieteur News understands that Dowray was imbibing alcohol at a rum shop some distance from his home when he requested a change in the type of music. Apparently others were not pleased with his request and an argument broke out between him and them at the shop and he subsequently left.
The man’s wife, Kimmy, said that she was at home when she received a call and was told that her husband wanted to see her immediately, that he was at the hospital.
She said that when she arrived at the New Amsterdam Hospital her husband was in a terrible state. She was instructed to pack an emergency bag so that he could be transported to the city hospital for further treatment. He was subsequently transferred to the GPHC due to the severity of his condition.
According to what the man’s wife, her husband, while making his way home on the roadway, about three pickup trucks filled with men and women armed with cutlasses pulled up alongside him and the attack began.
He received chops to his back, right leg, the back of his head, face and wrist which is barely hanging, according to Kimmy. Three persons have since been arrested and are assisting police with investigations.
