Kwakwani man hospitalised after stabbed 10 times

Lancelot Captain, a 28-year-old labourer of Kwakwani Park, Upper Berbice River, Region 10 is hospitalised in a serious  state after he was stabbed 10 times by a man.

Police Headquarters reported that Captain and Orlando Towler, the suspect, were imbibing at about 13:00 hrs Saturday.

Towler reportedly took away the alcoholic beverage because Captain was consuming too much. An argument is said to have ensued between the two men and Towler reportedly armed himself with a knife and stabbed Captain 10 times.

The victim was subsequently rushed to the Kwakwani Hospital Complex, where he was admitted, examined, and treated by a doctor on duty before being transferred to the Linden Hospital.

His condition is listed as serious but stable.

Meanwhile, the suspect was arrested and is assisting with the ongoing investigations. He is slated to appear in court on Tuesday.
