Suspect in brutal stabbing of teen captured at De Veldt

The man accused of brutally stabbing his 15-year-old child’s mother multiple times at Heathburn Village, East Bank Berbice (EBB), Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne) has been captured and handed over to the police on Friday. The suspect, 28-year-old Christopher Ali, was apprehended at De Veldt Village, an Amerindian settlement located approximately 50 miles up the Berbice River in Region 10 (Upper Berbice-Upper Demerara). Residents reportedly captured the man when he turned up at De Veldt Health Centre seeking medical attention.
Ali was reportedly beaten and chopped during his apprehension. He was later handed over to the police.

He was subsequently transported by boat to New Amsterdam, where he was met by emergency medical personnel and taken by ambulance to the New Amsterdam Regional Hospital. Ali had been on the run since February 24 after attacking and stabbing Tiana Chapman of Pepper Street, Heathburn Village, during an altercation at a friend’s home.
At the scene in New Amsterdam, the teen’s mother, Adisea Andrews, reportedly fainted and had to be assisted by persons nearby. She was taken to the hospital in an unresponsive condition. Meanwhile, when members of the media attempted to speak with the suspect’s mother following his capture, she refused to comment on the incident. The injured teen was discharged for the hospital on Thursday.
