Gopaul Etwaroo, the 22-year-old man who was recently rescued from the pig pen in which he was held captive, has been discharged from hospital but will undergo a psychiatric evaluation tomorrow.
The young man, who was described as mentally ill by his stepmother, was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital for medical evaluation on Friday following the rescue, which was spearheaded by the Guyana Women Miners Organisation (GWMO) based on an anonymous tip.
The youth was found naked in a space that was too low for him to stand. He had access to a trough to relieve himself, a bench constructed from wooden planks was his bed and he ate from recycled bleach bottles.
