-accused on station bail
The 19-year-old waitress of Hong Chinese Restaurant at Canefield, Canje who was stabbed at around 9:30 pm on Monday, was discharged from the New Amsterdam hospital yesterday while her alleged attacker was released on $10,000 station bail.
Carina Anansa Holmes underwent surgery at the hospital on Wednesday. Her condition is said to have improved though she is still experiencing pain. Holmes also injured her right knee when she fell in the process of fleeing from her attacker. Eyewitnesses pursued the attacker and dealt him six chops with a cutlass. He was handed over to the police after being treated at the hospital for the wounds. Two persons had also been taken into custody for chopping him.

The suspects who were held in connection with the chopping incident were also released on $10,000 station bail. Charges in both cases are likely to be laid shortly.
Holmes told this newspaper yesterday that she started working at the restaurant three months ago after leaving her home at Charity, Essequibo Coast.
She said she decided to defend her colleague, Ramona Leandra Williams, 19, because the customer was taking advantage of her while lamenting, “But look wah happen to me now.”
According to her the man who was drinking there for a while had ordered $6,000 worth in beer. She said he kept pestering Williams that he wanted to “take her out and because she did not want to go” he refused to pay for the beer.
Williams insisted that she had to get the money and the man became physically abusive to her; boxing her and hitting her with a beer bottle.
Holmes also tried to get the man to pay, telling him that “we would have to pay it [money] from we pocket if you don’t pay.” She also chided him for beating the other teen and he started to “pull and tug at her” and she in turn hit him with a beer bottle.
He then became angry and whipped out a knife and dealt her the stab, causing her to bleed profusely.
Only in Guyana, a charge of Aggravated Assault gets the male culprit the equivalent of a $50 USD Bail, on the other hand the female victim is left to fend from herself, sigh! sigh! sigh!!!
guyana need new law new police new judge these people dont no the law ans cant do there job
WHERE IS THE PICTURE OF THE (HELL RAISER BULLY ABUSIVER) AND
WHY WERE THE GOOD SAMARITANS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY? THOSE YOUNG
LADIES COULD HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES IF THE SAMARITANS DID NOT
INTERVENE.
We have the same things happen here in Canada, but the person responsible for the attack is usually not given bail. And the defenders of the young lady are usually not arrested unless they shoot the criminal.(The POLICE do that) Justice is then sometimes administered while the criminal is in lockup awaiting trial by friends or family of the victim involved ALSO in lockup. There always seems to be some drunken fool beating a girl or hurting her, just to prove to himself & others how huch “strength & fearlessness” he has. It is the same in OUR culture and It is the same in every country.I hope the girl is doing better now. Be well young miss.
go back to essequibo, girl. what you doing so far from home?
It is totally absurd that these people who came to the rescue of the two women would be penalized for their heroic efforts.
I’m sure, had they not intervened, a homicide or two would have occured, as the coward was probably drunk.
I hope that whoever the judge will be in this case, see it fit to let these good samaritans go free.
As for the coward, he should thank God that the police came when they did.
