A man accused of chopping his wife about her body and severing several of her fingers in the process was on Tuesday charged with attempted murder.
The accused, Richard Mohamed, a 30-year-old labourer of Friendship, Lower Pomeroon River, and of Huntley Mahaicony, East Coast Demerara, appeared before Magistrate Esther Sam at the Anna Regina Magistrate’s Court.
He was not required to plead to the charge and was subsequently asked to post $500,000 bail for his release.
The matter was adjourned until April 19th, and transferred to the Charity Magistrate’s Court.
The Guyana Police Force previously stated that the attack occurred last Thursday morning in the Lower Pomeroon area, where the woman was chopped several times in the head and other parts of her body and several of her fingers were severed. After Mohamed allegedly committed the act, he was said to have set their house ablaze.
The woman remains hospitalized in a stable condition.
