Vieira was found guilty by Magistrate Wanda Fortune at the Linden Magistrate’s Court. He was charged in connection with the severe beating of Mabura, Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Berbice) resident, Cliff Williams, which occurred on February 15.
It was revealed that 50-year-old Williams was attacked at about 13:30h by Vieira and a group of men at Mabura which caused him to sustain several bodily injuries, including fractured fingers.
According to Police, the Virtual Complainant of 47 Miles, Mabura, and the perpetrators are known to each other and would usually argue from time to time due to misunderstandings. It was reported that the men were at Vieira’s shop at Mabura consuming alcohol when the victim started to argue with him and another suspect. A fight then ensued during which the men dealt several cuffs and kicks to the VC, causing his right foot and left hand to break and his fingers to be fractured. The suspects then fled the scene while the victim was escorted to the Linden Hospital Complex. Vieira was later arrested for the offence.
