Woman stabs brother during row over father’s health

A 28-year-old woman has been arrested after she reportedly stabbed her older brother during an argument over their father’s medical condition.
Injured is 30-year-old Mahendra Mohabir, also known as “Baggie” of Lancaster Village, Corentyne, Berbice, Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne).
Police said that on Friday, the father was at his son’s house consuming alcohol when at around 19:50h, Mohabir decided to take his dad home to Ulverston Village.
Upon arrival at the father’s house, the victim’s sister was standing on the bridge in front of the yard and a heated argument ensued between the two over their father’s medical condition.
According to Police, the man took his father into the yard and reportedly warned his sister not to the beat the elderly man. Mohabir allegedly told investigators that his sister has a “habit” of beating their father.
Meanwhile, as the man took their father into the yard, the argument between the siblings intensified, causing their mother to intervene. The mother reportedly came out the house with a cutlass which she used to broadside her son to the chest.
At this point, the sister ran into the house where she armed herself with a knife which she used to stab her brother to his left hand.
The neighbours were alerted and went to the man’s aid, Police said. The victim managed to ride his bicycle home where he was later escorted to the Port Mourant Hospital. Mohabir was treated and placed under observation; his condition is listed as stable.
Investigations are ongoing. (G11)
