An Experiment, Bath Settlement, West Coast Berbice businessman was chopped about his body in a suspected robbery last evening.
The injured man is Mohamed Hanif, also known as ‘Raymond,’ who operates a taxi service, a shop and a water supply business.
According to a relative, the man was rushed to the Fort Wellington Hospital and he was subsequently transferred to the New Amsterdam Public Hospital in a critical condition last evening.
“We don’t really know for sure what happened but it’s confirmed that he was chopped. It’s so chaotic right now I don’t really know much,” a distraught relative who did not want to be named said.
However, residents of the area last evening told this publication that three suspected bandits invaded the businessman’s home just after 10 pm and he was chopped several times.
As of 11 pm last evening police were at the scene investigating, a resident noted.
