2 brutally chopped, stabbed in failed robbery attempt

Twenty-five-year-old Rocky Katwaru, a construction worker was attacked and brutally chopped on Christmas night by a group of armed men during an alleged robbery attempt at Kaneville, Grove, East Bank Demerara (EBD).
Guyana Times understands that Katwaru and a friend were conversing when they were confronted by a group of men who demanded that he hand over the keys to his motorcycle.
He reportedly refused to do so and it was at that time, that they were brutally attacked and chopped about their bodies.
“On Christmas night two guys passed and they pulled out a gun and tried to rob us … they left and they go home for a cutlass and then they come back. One of them hold me down and the next one started chopping me”, Katwaru stated.

The injured man who remains hospitalised told the Guyana Times “I am not the only person they chopped. My friend Imraj Khan who is also a construction worker was chopped.”
Katwaru suffered multiple chops to his head, severe lacerations on three fingers, and three broken bones in his left leg. “They chopped out a piece of meh bone,” he explained.
This publication was also told that the suspects allegedly tried to wrestle the keys to Katwaru’s motorcycle out of his pocket but were unsuccessful. They however, managed to snatch his cell phone, which someone at the scene later retrieved.
During the incident, Katwaru was rescued by another friend, who transported him to the Grove Police Station.
Officers subsequently rushed him to the Diamond Hospital for emergency treatment, and he was later transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPHC) due to the severity of his injuries.
Katwaru’s friend was reportedly stabbed in his rib, his back, hand, and head. He was treated and discharged the following day. Police are investigating the attack, but no arrests have been made thus far.
Katwaru is urging authorities to take swift action. “I need justice. I want them to find the persons that did this,” the young construction worker added.
