A pork-knocker was remanded to prison on Tuesday after a city magistrate heard that he allegedly stabbed a co-worker in the neck in an attempt to regain a borrowed cellphone.
Kevin Thomas, 20, of Lot 46 Providence, East Bank Demerara, was brought before the Georgetown Magis-trates’ Courts charged with grievously wounding Sadeek Mohamed with the intent to commit murder at Third Avenue, Bartica. The man was not required to plead when the charge was read to him by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry.
Thomas and Mohamed, it was said, are known to each other and work together in the interior. On May 16, Thomas gave the virtual complainant his cellphone to borrow. Two days later, at about 1am, Thomas approached Mohamed from behind at Third Avenue, Bartica and dealt him a stab wound to the left side of the neck,
