Drunken brawl ends in stabbing

Two men are currently hospitalised following an altercation that occurred at Waramadong Village, Upper Mazaruni (Region Seven, Cuyuni-Mazaruni).
Reports are that Young Williams, a 27-year-old farmer, and 61-year-old Lykie Kramer, a cook, who are both known to each other, were imbibing when a heated argument ensued and Williams struck Kramer to his face.
In retaliation Kramer stabbed Williams with a knife to his chest and abdomen, causing his intestines to protrude.
As a result, the injured Williams turned around, picked up a piece of wood, and dealt Kramer several lashes to his head and body, causing his arm to be fractured.
Both individuals were rushed to the Kamarang Public Hospital, where they are being treated. Their respective condition is listed as stable.
Investigations are continuing.
Just a few days ago, an 18-year-old lad and his 21-year-old sister were detained over the alleged wounding they committed on their 26-year-old brother, Kemo Archer, a carpenter.
This incident occurred at the La Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara (WBD) home of the trio.
Reports are that Archer went home from work in an intoxicated state, and a heated argument ensued between him and his sister. During the row, he reportedly hit his sister to the head with a plate, and she stabbed him to his left hand with a broken piece of the said plate, while another brother dealt him several cuffs about his body, before using a pair of scissors to stab him to his shoulder.
According to Police, the fight further escalated when the 18-year-old brother armed himself with a Rambo knife and dealt Archer three stabs – one to his left forearm and the others to his abdomen.
The Police were summoned, and the suspects were arrested and escorted to the West Demerara Regional Hospital for medical attention.
The injured Archer was also taken to receive medical care.
The brother and sister suspects were later escorted to the La Parfaite Harmonie Police Station, where they were placed in custody. (G9)
