A Corentyne fisherman has been remanded to prison on an attempted murder charge when he appeared before Springlands Magistrate Renita Singh on Thursday.
Twenty-one-year-old Mohamed Fazar Ally has not been required to plead to this indictable charge, which stated that on April 9, while in the company of others, he attempted to murder 29-year-old Avinash Sumintra.
Injured: Avinash Sumintra
The Prosecutor told the court that the Police are still investigating the matter, and the file is incomplete. As such, Magistrate Singh remanded Ally until May 4. Sumintra, however, remains hospitalised with stab wounds on his body.
Police have reported that on the day in question, Ally was at a popular bar at #78 Village when an argument ensued between himself and the victim. Ally reportedly left the bar, but waited on Sumintra, and as he walked out, Ali attacked him.
The knife stuck in Sumintra’s stomach
The Police have said that Sumintra received stabs to his face, neck and abdomen, and had a knife stuck in his stomach. His mother, Jennifer Sherkissoon, has expressed gratitude that her son is still alive. The woman, who works as a security guard at that hospital, was on duty when her injured son was taken there.
“A Canter come in with several persons, and when the other security open the gate and I walk and go up to the Canter, I see my son with the knife in his belly. The knife was in his belly, and the doctor move very fast with him and rush him down to New Amsterdam. My son sustained injuries to his head, a fractured skull, and he lost his one kidney,” the grateful mother explained.
“At the New Amsterdam Hospital, the doctors moved very fast with him and helped my son. They helped my son a lot. I must thank the doctors, and I want to thank all the nurses for whatever they did for my son,” this mother has said.
She said Sumintra’s condition had been improving even as he remains in the Intensive Care Unit. However, she said he has started to respond. “I feel so happy that I am getting some justice for my son,” she added.
