Forty-nine-year-old fish vendor Compton Fecker who back in 2015 had beaten another man in the head with a hammer from which he now suffers limited vision, loss of hearing, constant headaches and difficulty sleeping at nights continues to await sentencing.
On January 15th, a jury unanimously found Fecker, called ‘Chappy,’ guilty of feloniously wounding Alvin Melville on March 19th, 2015 at Parika, East Bank Essequibo.
He had been indicted for attempted murder or felonious wounding in the alternative. The jury convicted him on the alternate count.
