Soldiers hospitalised after fight at BBQ

A rank attached to the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) is currently hospitalised nursing a stab wound to his body after he, along with another GDF rank, was injured during a fight at a barbecue in Linden.
Reports are on Saturday around 22:00h, Selwyn Cumberbatch, 30, of Wisroc, Linden, a Corporal attached to the Special Force Unit in the GDF, and Terrence Collis, 27, of Wismar, Linden, also a GDF rank, were injured.
Guyana Times was informed that both Cumberbatch and Collis were at a barbecue at Block 22, Wismar along with friends when a fight broke out.
It is still unclear how the fight started and who was involved. However, during the process, Cumberbatch was dealt several stabs about his body with a broken bottle. His “squaddie”, Collis, was also hit in his head with a glass bottle.
Following the incident both men were taken to the Linden Hospital Complex, where they were treated for their injuries. Cumberbatch was then admitted to the hospital, and was said to be in serious condition.
On the other hand, Collis was treated and sent away. Investigations are ongoing.
Earlier in this month, 24-year-old Shafeek Abdool was admitted in critical condition to the Georgetown Public Hospital after he was stabbed about his body by a teen at Nonpareil, East Coast Demerara (EBD).
According to reports received, the suspect and victim had a misunderstanding which resulted in the suspect arming himself with a glass bottle, breaking it, and stabbing the victim several times about his body.
The victim was subsequently rushed to the medical facility. Abdool reportedly suffered a puncture to the left lung.
The suspect, who was arrested, was escorted to the medical facility to seek medical attention after crying out for pains about his body. He was examined by a doctor and deemed medically sound.
He was later charged for the offence.
