Man stabbed while defending sister’s honour
Teary eyed Joy Daniels awaiting word on her son’s faith outside the hospital Sunday afternoon
A mother now fears the worse after her son was stabbed during a confrontation early Sunday morning.
Devin Edmonds, 20, of Middle Scheme, Yarrowkabra, was rushed to the Diamond Diagnostic Centre, just after 02:00hrs, on Sunday after he was knifed in the region of his pelvis.
He has been transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital.
Edmonds’s mother, Joy Daniels, said that her son’s attacker is known to her. She has identified the man as ‘Ramar’, who lives in her community. She also said that ‘Ramar’ has since “packed his bags to go in the bush.”
Daniels explained that after returning from a wedding reception at Glass Factory Road, her son went to a Bar-B-Que on a ball field near their home.
She said that he later visited his sister and while returning home, under the influence of alcohol, got into an argument with a man over remarks about his sister. That verbal confrontation escalated into a scuffle, during which the man stabbed Edmonds.
“After me son get stab, he start walk away and he fall down and black out,” the distraught mother reported.
When Kaieteur News spoke to the woman on Sunday she indicated that the matter has not yet been reported
According to medical officials, the man was stabbed in the region of his lower back and the weapon used may have damage his renal artery. A CT scan has been recommended to be followed by surgery.
