The Guyana Defence Force (GDF) yesterday said it is probing a video that shows a soldier in uniform being beaten by a man.
The assailant disguised in a balaclava, was holding a knife and repeatedly throwing punches to the abdomen, face and head of the Guyana Defence Force rank who at intervals blocked the blows. In a statement, the GDF said that the soldier who was shown being beaten has been Away Without Leave for over a year. This raises questions as to when the video might have been made and what has become of the soldier.
