-court told
A clothes vendor, who attempted to murder two men last year in Albouystown, was remanded to prison yesterday when he appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.
Terrence Winns
Twenty-year-old Terrence Winns of 217 Middle Road, La Penitence was not required to plead to two indictable counts of attempted murder.
It is alleged that on October 13 last year in Albouystown, Winns with intent to commit murder wounded Atto Coats.
It is also alleged that on December 31, Winns, with intent to commit murder, wounded Delon Hoyte.
Prosecutor Sherwin Mathews said that on October 13, at Cooper Street, Albouystown, Coats was standing in front of a yard when Winns approached him and snatched his cell phone.
When he requested that Winns return it, an argument ensued and reportedly resulted in Winns stabbing him thrice to his upper chest with a knife. Winns fled the scene while Coats collapsed on the road. He was later rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital by onlookers.
Mathews also stated that on December 31, at James Street, Albouystown, Hoyte was also standing in front of a yard when Winns approached him and pushed him behind his head. An argument followed and Winns allegedly stabbed Hoyte several times to his upper chest with a knife. Winns again fled the scene while Hoyte was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital.
The prosecutor noted that both men were in a critical condition at the hospital.
Coats and Hoyte both stated that “we get stab near we heart” and added that they might have died if the knife had reached closer. The two then exhibited stitches that they had received as a result of the incidents.
The magistrate subsequently ordered that Winns be remanded to prison and that he appear again in court on January 26.
SN DID YOU GUYS MADE A MISTAKE WITH NAME I JUST READ A THEIF MAN NAME WAS SHERWIN MATTHEWS AND NOW A PROSECUTER IN THIS STORY HAS THE SAME NAME?
IS THAT PIC RIGHT? I DONT TNK SO. THAT STORY SAID A TWENTY YEAR OLD. MY MY THE ECONOMICAL TIMES.
These young men are too idle….they need something to occupy their time and stay out of trouble…i would have remand him until the year 2443.
The news says he’s a clothes vendor.
It seems az though this guy is addicted 2 knives, n is also a bully, put him away from society.
He should change his name from Terrence Winns to Terrence Looser !
They should send him for psychiatric evaluation, this guy looks sick !
Nah!, nothing was wrong with the name. The paragraph stated “Mathews also stated that on December 31, at James Street Albouystown, Hoyte was also standing in front of a yard, when Winns approached him and pushed him behind his head”.
This sentence is a continuance of the prosecutor’s (Sherwin Mathews) statements.
Instead of stating the “prosecutor’s Sherwin Mathews” name in full again, the reporter just stated the prosecutor’s surname/last name, which is Mathews. Hope this explains, that SN did not made a mistake u did.
lol
Young people in Guyana have been let down by their immediate family, the Guyanese society as a whole, the system of governance and finally themselves. What is extremely frightening is that the numbers of the violent lawbreaking citizenry is growing daily and there seems to be no avenue available/used to reform that group!!
This brother is a scary person!!..attacking other men for their property he should be in gail and given serious intensive theraphy.
This guy Terrence Winns is not a clothes vendor but a knife wielder.
Those are the likes/criminals that kills, rob and spread fear among the poor vulnerables, should be wipped and jailed for 20 years.
