Miner assaulted by camp owner

Jul 12, 2015 News

A 35-year-old porkknocker is seeking justice after he was beaten to a pulp by his employer and left lying in a pool of blood last Saturday. Still smarting from a blow to his face that left him bloodied, Trevor Garraway recalled that the issue stemmed from his employer’s refusal to pay him for work he would have done on a Pomeroon, Region Two mining camp.
According to him, as he was readying to leave the interior last Saturday, he approached his boss (Epson English) for his pay but he instead received a sound thrashing. The incident occurred at kaimu (a shop in the mining community) around 05:00 hours that day.
He said that his asking for monies owed resulted in English brandishing a gun and using it to slap him to the face. He claimed that as he fell to the floor, Epson repeatedly used that opportunity to stomp him about his body, leaving him injured and lying there.
The porkknocker recalled being left there, bleeding profusely from his mouth. He later sought medical attention at the Charity Public Hospital.
According to him, he had lodged a report with the police at the Charity Police Station but had received no word from ranks there regarding the matter.
Much to his surprise, the porkknocker said on Thursday, last around 16:00 hours a party of policemen and the owner of the mining camp pulled up at his house, claiming that he had burgled the man’s interior shop and made off with a hefty loot.
He is denying this claim stating that “something fishy” is afoot. The camp’s General Manager, 50-year-old Ted English has confirmed the story, stating that this was not the first time something of this nature has occurred.
