Two sisters have been admitted to the Linden Hospital Complex nursing multiple injuries, including burns and a broken limb, after an attack was launched by the boyfriend of one of them.
The attack occurred on Monday at about 10.30 pm at a Region 10 location.
According to a Guyana Police Force report, the perpetrator’s girlfriend and her sister were at his home when an argument erupted. They attack started after his girlfriend refused to enter the passcode to unlock her phone.
The report stated that the perpetrator, whose request was denied, armed himself with a mug of boiling water and threw it on his girlfriend, causing her to suffer second degree burns to the right side of her face.
The man later armed himself with a piece of wood and dealt the woman a blow to her head, causing her to receive further injuries.
The woman’s sister, who tried to intervene, was struck to her lower right leg with a three inch block, after which the man hit her about her body and head. She suffered a broken leg.
The report added that the man then escaped, leaving the two sisters injured and bleeding in his yard.
The two women were later admitted to the Linden Hospital Complex.
The suspect turned himself in at the Mackenzie Police Station at about 3.10 am yesterday and allegedly admitted to wounding both women after he was told of the allegations against him. He was arrested and placed into custody pending further investigations.
