Speared Port Kaituma man still in critical condition at ICU

Twenty-three-year-old  Mervin Benjamin who was reportedly speared on Saturday night by his uncle remains in a critical condition in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Georgetown Public Hospital.

Benjamin of Oronoque, Port Kaituma, was reportedly speared on Saturday last after he was caught in a compromising position with a female by his uncle Leyland Benjamin.

The man subsequently took away the woman and went into hiding and they are reportedly still on the run.

The younger Benjamin was said to have been pierced several times about the body, most critically in the upper left chest. After the incident, he was immediately rushed to the Port Kaituma Hospital and was later air-dashed to the GPH due to the severity of his injuries.
