A 25-year-old man is in the Georgetown Public Hospital nursing injuries he sustained from being severely beaten by men he had approached to sell scrap metal.
Aaron Esuph Mohamed of Section C, Block Y, Diamond New Scheme, East Bank Demerara, has been a patient of the Georgetown
Public Hospital since New Year’s Day after he was found at Le Repentir Cemetery.
The man, who said he usually works at sea, yesterday told this newspaper that he went to an Albouystown location and enquired from two individuals if they were interested in some scrap metal he had to sell.
Mohamed said that a third man then joined the two and they proceeded to beat him, telling him that he had stolen the scrap metal. “They triple-bank me then. They beat me till I nearly lose consciousness then carry me and left me at the graveyard,” the man said from his hospital bed.
He added that after the men left, he managed to crawl through the bushes and was later assisted by persons who appeared to be “black-clothes police”. Mohamed suffered a broken right leg, a fractured left hand and a fractured finger. He indicated that he is required to spend some time at the hospital before being discharged.
The man said he did not know if the police had managed to arrest any of his attackers.
