Contemplating her next move:

Contemplating her next move: On Tuesday, Stabroek Market vendor Merlin Matthews had most of her produce splashed with paint, when a police vehicle drove over a pail of paint that was at the side of the road. The woman said she had 2,000 ears of corn and a bag of eddoes covered with paint and customers refused to purchase the items in that state. She was not the only person affected by the incident. In this photograph Matthews holds of some of the paint-covered produce and questioned who would repay her for her loss.
