Ex-business partner wanted for attempted murder of Linden resident

Police are on the hunt for a man known as “Country” and “Brother”, who allegedly wounded a 43-year-old resident of Wismar, Linden during an incident on Thursday at Linda’s Shop at Quartzstone Backdam, Cuyuni River.
Dwayne Ward is currently nursing chop wounds to his face and fingers, and Police say his condition is regarded as “serious but stable”. He
told investigators that at about 07:00h on Thursday, he was at the shop when the suspect called out to him and he ignored him.
It was revealed that the victim and suspect had previously worked in a partnership, but due to a misunderstanding, the arrangement was discontinued.
Ward said he began to walk away from the suspect, and was attacked from behind. The suspect, who was armed with a cutlass, dealt him some chops about his body, causing him to sustain a gaping wound to his face and damage to his left middle finger.
With the assistance of public-spirited persons, Ward was transported to the Bartica Regional Hospital, from where he was later referred to the Georgetown Public Hospital for further treatment.
The suspect is currently in hiding.
