Police say that 26-year-old carpenter, Kemo Archer of Westminster, La Parfaite Harmonie West Bank Demerara was wounded during a siblings’ brawl yesterday between 19:20hrs and 20:40hrs.
Enquiries disclosed that Archer and the suspects, an 18-year-old lad and a 21-year-old woman, are siblings residing together.
Police were told that the victim went home from work intoxicated and got into a heated argument with his sister and he hit her to the head with a plate. She then stabbed him to his left hand with a broken piece of the said plate while the brother dealt him several cuffs about his body before using a scissors to stab him to his shoulder.
The matter reportedly escalated and the 18-year-old then pulled out a Rambo knife from a haversack and dealt Archer three stabs – one to his left forearm and the others to his abdomen, causing him to receive further injuries.
The police were summoned and the suspects were arrested. They were both escorted to the West Demerara Regional Hospital to seek medical attention along with the injured man. They were all seen and examined by a doctor, treated, and sent away in a stable condition.
The two suspects were escorted to the Parfaite Harmonie Police Station where they were placed into custody. The investigation into the matter continues.
