Attempted rape/shooting

…suspect under Police guard at GPHC – Commander

The female miner, who shot a former employee thrice after he allegedly attempted to rape her, was arrested by the police but subsequently released on bail pending investigations.
This is according to F Division Commander (Interior locations) Kevin Adonis, who told Guyana Times on Monday that the Mahdia businesswoman had been taken into Police custody following the shooting incident.
However, she has been released on station bail as the probe into her alleged sexual assault and shooting incident continue.
Meanwhile, the 36-year-old suspect, who was initially in a critical state at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) has not been listed as stable after taking three bullets to his arms and stomach. He is presently under Police guard at the medical facility.
Reports are on July 11, the now wounded man was imbibing at his former employer’s premises at Mahdia, Region Eight (Potaro-Siparuni). Reports are at about 00:45h on Friday morning, the man sneaked into the woman’s sleeping area and allegedly attempted to remove her underwear when she woke up and reached for her firearm, which was in close range. The woman fired three shots towards her perpetrator. He received gunshot wounds to his stomach and arms.
The police were subsequently contacted and the woman, who is a licensed firearm holder, informed the cops that she shot the man in self-defence.
The suspect was rushed to the Mahdia Hospital but as a result of the extent of his injuries, he was air-dashed to the city and taken to the GPHC.
