Injured: Keon Liverpool
The suspect, known to Liverpool, is said to have an existing feud with the victim. Liverpool had informed his family about the old grievance and alleged threats made by the suspect to kill him on multiple occasions. However, he never disclosed the details of the dispute.
Liverpool is currently in critical condition at the Georgetown Public Hospital, where doctors have indicated that he will need to remain hospitalised for another month. Due to the severity of his injuries, he will be unable to eat solid food for six months, relying on liquids for sustenance.
A relative shared that doctors expressed surprise at Liverpool’s survival, considering the extent of his injuries and severe bleeding. The family is seeking justice for the incapacitated father of five, asserting that the suspect’s actions have left Liverpool unable to work for the rest of his life.
The matter has been reported to the Police, and an investigation is underway. However, the suspect, known as “Marky”, is yet to be apprehended. The Liverpool family awaits justice for the life-altering assault on their loved one.
