The two men who were stabbed during a home invasion at their Bel Air home last week have both been released from the hospital and are recovering at home.
A relative of the men, when contacted, told Stabroek News that Nicholas Chinatombi was released over the weekend, while his father, Mootoovereen Chinatombi, was released yesterday.
Police had said that Mootoovereen, 56, who is an Economics lecturer at the University of Guyana, and Nicholas, a doctor, were both stabbed during the attack and hospitalized as a result.
Mootoovereen was stabbed in his stomach, while Nicholas sustained two stab wounds to the left side of his abdomen and one to his stomach, causing bruises to his kidney as well as abdominal bleeding.
They both underwent surgery.
One of the lecturer’s sons, Andrew, previously told Stabroek News that he went to bed about 12.45 am but was awakened when he heard his father groaning in pain. He ran out into the hallway and saw the suspect with a knife in his father’s stomach. Andrew notified his older brother, Nicholas, who immediately confronted the intruder, knocking him away from his father.
During the scuffle Nicholas was stabbed three times.
The intruder was said to have climbed through a window in the kitchen. Owing to its height, that window was not grilled like the other windows around the house.
