Months after he escaped from custody, a juvenile attempted murder accused was yesterday recaptured by the police at Ogle, East Coast Demerara.
Guyana Police Force spokesman Assistant Commissioner Royston-Andries Junor yesterday confirmed that the youth, who is 17, was apprehended by the police at Ogle Old Road.
The teen had escaped from the Juvenile Holding Centre in March this year. At the time, he was on remand for the attempted murder of former national boxer Gladwin Dorway, which occurred in June last year.
He is likely to face additional charges soon.
Dorway, popularly known as ‘Tiger,’ 31, of Prince William Street, Plaisance, was stabbed once to his chest during a confrontation, a short distance from his home.
Dorway’s aunt, Sybil Dorway had previously told this newspaper that the accused was among a group of four persons who visited her home prior to the attack and allegedly threatened her great nephew.
At the time, Sybil said Gladwin was not at home.
However, upon his return, Gladwin learnt of the incident and later went to confront the accused to enquire what exactly happened. He was stabbed as a result. “After Tiger come home now, Tiger hear the story. Tiger seh man this boy disrespectful. So Tiger go round now (to Graham Street), must be fah find out wah really happen. Tiger didn’t know he had a knife behind he back and he stab he,” Sybil explained.
