Venezuelan sisters remanded on attempted murder charge

Two teenage Venezuelan nationals are among four sisters who were on Tuesday remanded to prison for the attempted murder committed on a 16-year-old girl last week.
The sisters Evelyn Alfonso, 22, and Roxanna Alfonso, 20, along with a 14-year-old and a 16-year-old, appeared before Magistrate Clive Nurse at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court and were not required to plead to the charge of attempted murder when it was read to them.
That charge detailed that on January 28, 2021, at Cummings Street, Georgetown, they attempted to murder the Guyanese teenage victim.
It was reported that on the day in question, at around 9:00h, the victim was walking along Cummings Street, Georgetown in the company of a relative when she was attacked by the sisters. Based on a video that was shared on social media, the two teenage suspects were armed with knives while the older ones were armed with pieces of brick. The victim was eventually stabbed to the neck by the two teen sisters.
After committing the act, the four sisters reportedly fled the scene, while the injured teen was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where she was admitted a patient.
A report was made, and after investigations, the four sisters were arrested and charged.
The two older sisters have been remanded to prison, while the younger teens have been sent to the Sophia Juvenile Holding Centre; and they are all expected to make their next court appearance on February 11, 2022.
