CPG officer, son charged with wounding

The Community Policing Group (CPG) member on the East Bank of Berbice who was at the centre of an investigation into the stabbing of a fellow villager has been granted bail for allegedly wounding a sugar worker.
Hearlall Seenarine of Edinburgh, East Bank Berbice appeared on Friday before New Amsterdam Magistrate Alex Moore charged with unlawful wounding.
The CPG member and his teenage son reportedly wounded Basdeo Sadhadeo at Edinburgh on September 2.
Meanwhile, Sadhadeo was also arraigned on a separate charge, alleging that he wounded Seenarine.
Each of these three men was placed on ,000 bail, and the matters have been set for recall on October 17.
Reports are that the CPG member had allegedly taken the law into his own hands and lashed Sadhadeo in his head with a beer mug, smashing it in the process as he reacted to a report that the VC had allegedly exchanged a 00 note that a young man had at the time and replaced it with a counterfeit 00 bill.
That incident allegedly occurred two months prior to the wounding.
Sadhadeo had related that after he was hit several times by the CPG officer, he retaliated and the two were involved in an exchange of punches before the teenage son of the CPG member arrived and began to stab him. (Andrew Carmichael)
