A young resident of `A’ Field Sophia is currently in hospital nursing a cutlass wound and his mother is calling on the Guyana Police Force (GPF) to act quickly to prevent his attackers from doing further harm to him.
Esther Perreira, a farmer and newspaper vendor, told Stabroek News that her son Winston Marks was attacked by a gang of men just after 7:30 on Tuesday morning while working with her at their farm located on a dam at `A’ Field.
She explained that the men, who were part of a group which was clearing the trench bordering the dam, had been discarding the waste from the trench on her crops when she objected.
