Cane Grove labourer charged for wedding house beating that left man paralysed

Nov 28, 2019 News

Nineteen-year-old Jermain Holder was on Tuesday slapped with an attempted murder charge for the severe beating he and others gave 22-year-old Hansraj ‘Kevin’ Durga, leaving him in a paralyzed state.
Holder was not required to plead to the indictable charge read by Magistrate Marissa Mittleholzer at the Mahaica Magistrate’s Court. He was released on $100,000 bail and the matter will be called again on December 17, 2019 for statements.
Kaieteur News understands that the incident occurred on November 3, 2019. Relatives disclosed that Durga was at a wedding house when an argument ensued between his cousin and some other men.
He reportedly asked for the peace to be kept but this action turned the men’s attention to him (Durga) and they proceeded to rain severe blows on him.
He was later discovered by his sister lying unconscious in a pool of blood. Family members immediately rushed him to the Mahaicony Cottage Hospital from where he was later transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital.
As a result of the beating, Hansraj Durga is currently left in a paralysed state unable to function without assistance. He also suffered memory loss, a fractured skull, brain haemorrhaging and a fractured shoulder.
