Home News 3 students brutally attacked, 2 robbed, 2 stabbed
In two separate incidents this week, three students became victims of brutal violence, leaving their families in distress.
On Tuesday, about 19:45h on Diamond Access Road, East Bank Demerara (EBD), two teenagers aged 15 and 16 were assaulted and robbed by five men.
The 16-year-old bore the brunt of the aggression since he was punched and stabbed multiple times with an ice pick while the suspects snatched his Samsung S21 valued at $85,000. Simultaneously, the 15-year-old fell victim to the attackers, losing his iPhone 7 worth $68,000, his backpack, and $200.
Reports are that the teenagers had just finished lessons and were walking along the Diamond Access Road when they were confronted by five male juveniles.
The victims, shaken and injured, promptly informed their parents and later reported the incident at the Golden Grove-Diamond Police Station about 20:45h.
In another incident that unfolded on Wednesday at the Route 45 Bus Park, Stabroek, a student from Richard Ishmael Secondary School fell victim to a merciless attack, enduring multiple stabbings with a pair of scissors.
The suspect’s identity and motive remain unknown. The victim’s mother, after the incident, said she was very angry about the situation and demanded decisive action. She called on the Guyana Police Force to apprehend the attacker and emphasised the need for charges. (G9)
