A 22-year old man was yesterday afternoon rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital, after being stabbed repeatedly about his body by another man.
The injured man is Carlton Westford who resides at West La Penitence.
Westford was reportedly stabbed by a man who had allegedly robbed him a few weeks ago. According to reports, Westford was walking along Ebenezer Drive (Front Road) when he recognized the man as the person who had robbed him recently.
Westford reportedly confronted the man, who in turn allegedly broke a bottle and stabbed Westford repeatedly about his body. The suspect then escaped.
The injured man was rushed to the hospital. According to hospital sources, Westford was stabbed on his right shoulder, below his left ear, in his abdomen and to his left arm.
Police are investigating the matter.
Well according to you people here, this is just fine , leave the thieves to do what they want , people shouldn’t defend themselves from them. If you kill a thief, you should be charge, that’s the way some of you who blog here will feel safe. there can only be one reason for that, read between the lines.
jack no one is supporting criminals, in all countries they are laws, and if guyana has laws they needs to be followed, we can’t have private citizen as vigalante, if that’s the case we don’t need gpf.
NOT ALL OF US THINK THIS IS FINE.
He should have reported the matter to the gpf, and not confront the perp, to do that is doing it at your own risk, i hope he get well soon.
HE SHOULD NOT HAVE CONFRONTED THE PERP WITH HIS BARE HANDS, THAT WAS FOOLISH
that was silly. he should have gone to the police out post which is not far away. he should have avoided eye contact, then return with a police and confront him. hope he recovers.
boi yuh should have gone to police to see if yuh cud ave gotten dem to teck dis criminal off de street…i say again..wen dem rob yuh and if yuh try to defend yuhself dem gon kill yuh…..dats why no mercy fuh dem wen dem get shoot en dem back an dead….hope yuh fully recover and bring justice to him.
I HAD THINGS STOLEN FROM MY PROPERTY, REPORTED IT TO THE POLICE, NO ACTION TAKEN.
I DID MY THING GOT INFO. GIVE THE NAME AND ADDRESS TO THE POLICE 6 MONTHS LATER AFTER CHECKING WITH THEM,
IS WE CAN’T CATCH THE MAN BUT WE INVESTIGATING.
I WROTE THE THEN TOP COP AND 3 DAYS AFTER I GOT A REPLY TO MY LETTER A POLICEMAN CAME TO MY DOOR. WE CAUGHT THE BANNA. HE WAS ID. IN A PARADE AND GOT 6 MONTHS IN JAIL.
I DID MY THING THE POLICE WAS HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH HIS SISTER.
If he wanted to confront the robber he should have armed himself with something first.
Wrong move. Sorry yu get hurt. Next time do it different.
He the thief got nottin to live for.
PLEASE FIND THIS LOSER POST HIS PICTURE AND LET MR WESTFORD GET
SOME JUSTICE.
THE COPS HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH THE THEIF SISTER GO FIGURE THAT’S GUYANA POLICE FORCE FOR YOU…..COVER UP…COVER UP!!
DAMNED STRAIGHT. ONLY IN GUYANA HAVE I EVER SEEN THIS BLATANT DISREGARD FOR THE LAWS THAT GOVERN THIS NATION. PEOPLE REACT BECAUSE THEY ARE JUST FED UP. OBVIOUSLY NO ONE LEARNED ANYTHING FROM THE CHAIN SNATCHER WHO WAS KILLED A FEW WEEKS AGO. I GUESS THE THIEF HAS THE USUAL EXCUSE — NO JOB. I HAVE BEEN TO GUYANA AND HAD PEOPLE LOOK ME IN THE FACE (30 – 40 YEARS OLD) AND SAY, I AM NOT WORKING FOR NO 5,000 A WEEK. AND I CANNOT HELP BUT ASK, ISN’T 5,000 MORE RESPECTABLE THAT STEALING A MILLION? BUT HEY, THAT IS JUST ME. DON’T RESIST THE THIEVES, LET THEM CONTINUE TO KILL AND ROB INNOCENT PEOPLE. IT JUST GOES ON AND ON.
So if the victim had a gun and shoot the robber, the robber families would still insist that the victim be charged.
this is what you called bareface robber
