A 39-year-old man was stabbed by a brother after he told him to leave the home following the older man’s threat to cut their mother’s throat.

Anthony Trotman of Nabaclis, East Coast Demerara was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital after being stabbed in the left side of his abdomen with a knife. Reports are that at about 11:15 am yesterday, the older brother who was said to be in the habit of making threats said that he would cut their mother’s neck. This prompted Trotman to tell his older brother to get out of the house.

However, the man picked up a knife and stabbed Trotman instead. The injured man was taken to the medical institution while his stabber was held by police.
