The charge of attempting to commit murder on City Mall businesswoman Dhanwantie Phulchand was yesterday read to a 16-year-old girl at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court who was later remanded to prison.
Dhanwantie Phulchand.
It is alleged that on July 4 at Georgetown, the teenager, with intent to commit murder wounded Dhanwantie Phulchand.
The defendant was not required to plead to the indictable charge when it was read to her by Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson.
The virtual complainant (VC) was not in court as she is still hospitalised. The matter was called to the bench and a lengthy discussion ensued.
The unrepresented teen was remanded until July 27.
According to reports, Phulchand, the proprietress of Rishma’s Fashion which is located in City Mall, was attacked in her boutique on Saturday afternoon and was admitted to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) in a stable condition.
and what about the other male counter part – have they found him yet?
16?? What the heck? She should be in school getting an education. It is imperative that parents take stock of their child(ren) life. At that age I will still be all in my kids face monitoring his/her actions in and out of my home.
LAST HER AWAY IN JAIL IF GUILTY
This reminds me of the young Palastinian girls who decided to turn themselves into suicide bombers. When people have nothing else to lose they lose it.
The administration is living in a fish bowl, they do not realize that these incidents are manifestations of hopelessness and anger.
It is going to get worst, there is going to be more and more organised criminal gangs, both men and women, there is going to be more kipnappings, drugs and mayhem.
This is not only denegration of the society it is also the havenots having no other alternative but to grab what ever they could from the haves.
Guyana has got to address this problem in the only way they can, put these young people to work on community farms.
Look at all the battered women they now want to put into protective housing to sit there feeling sorry for themselves and licking their emotional wounds.
Stop following the American model of everything. America can afford these institutions because of pork barrel funding.
Most of these women are country girls. Tough,productive and hard working, why pen them up in a building doing nothing. All over the third world, it is the women who are the farmers and land producers.
Start community farms, teach these women to make rammed earth houses for themselves. How to make pickles, preserves and dried fruits and vegetables. I have already explained my poor man’s barrel and bamboo irrigation system in an earlier blog.
I will send these women my farming method which I call the “Fat poor lazy man’s method of farming” I will demonstrate that with a simple cordless reversible drill they can irrigate their fields, plough and weed their plant beds and still grow long nails with cutex and still outproduce the conventional farmer.
Give these women a few computers and teach them Sketchup so that they will learn an architectural skill and get to build a real house for themselves all at the same time. The software is free on the internet and is userfriendly.
Create jobs or create crime, the choice is yours.
Joe.
Joe you always seem to have a good idea, I imagine you are from the older generation. IDLE BRAINS IS THE DEVIL’S WORK-SHOP.These criminals should be assessed,because I still believe that there has to be a reason for their behaviour.Frustration is most certainly one of the main causes.
These youngsters should be put on WORK-STUDY in whatever field they excel.There has to be some thing they are cabable of besides crime,give them a FAIR not a SECOND chance in life.You have mentioned a whole lot of things that they could do and that is what the gov. should invest in. Prisoners/criminals should be disciplined in a respectable way and if they cannot learn then they should face the conciquences.
I cannot imagine one in their sound mind doing these CRAZY THINGS
Joe, yuh remember that story about the lazy man and his gold? It was about a man who was so lazy that even if someone cooked for him he was too lazy to serve himself and rather to remain hungry. One day, a fairy put three bags of gold on the other side of the river opposite the man’s hut, while he was sitting on a bench wishing he was rich. There was a log lying across the river, and the man crossed it to get to the bags. Do you remember the rest of the story? Many people are still like that, it makes no sense teaching them to fish, they prefer you give them the fish, preferably fried…
My…my…a teenager and a girl at that.
If she did it she must have had terrible hatred of the proprietress to stoop
to such a dastardly act.
“The unrepresented teen was remanded until July 27.”…what?
No pro-bono lawyer in Court could stand up and say something?
I hope the proprietress recovers fully.
it’s not hate IT”S GREED
…for such a brazen attack in such a public space that could have easily resulted in the loss of life ,, and now we the readers to be given this half assed report ,, is beyond compare !
SN ,, is there any report on the investigation ,, that led to the arrest ,, of the accused ! is the accused ,, the much calloused culprit ???? come on SN ,, if ure goin to report on an issue of this that is so “everywhere” in GUYANA ,,, and now by a “teen” female ,, no less ! did u not see that the few lines is by itself a disrespect for “life” in GUYANA ????????????????????
What ever is the case,these parents does nt pursuade their kids that even if it’s holidays time they need to take that time and do something of much value,from what i see here is that she was accustomed to roming the markets and hanging out with them type of criminals,i wanda if they still have girls school,they should fit her somewhwre there,she dont need school anymore,she don break out.boat done gan a falls cant turn back.
Guyana is slowly but surely falling into a cesspool of despicable behaviour where there is no respect for law and order and human life .. cry my beloved country … you can no longer be saved … it is just too late now !!
w3hat happen to the 12million is the US prison, is that a cesspool?
These teens are out of control, they watch too much TV and expect to have the material things without having to work and work hard for it. The courts have to send a strong message in order to curb this type of behavior.
Sixteen year old girls could be dangerous especially if desperate and hungry.
She should be tried as an adult. She has the ability according to the law to give sexual consent, then she has the capacity to distinguish right from wrong.
Sixteen year old girls should be in school preparing themselves to earn a honest and respectable living.
