Man gets 14 years for chopping woman in Pomeroon

Richard Mohammed

Pomeroon resident Richard Mohammed, who a year ago chopped a woman, severing one of her arms, several of her fingers and causing her to lose an eye in the process, will be spending the next 14 years in prison.

Last month he pleaded guilty to attacking and chopping the woman with a cutlass on March 25th, 2021 with intent to maim, disfigure or disable her.

He had been indicted for attempted murder or felonious wounding in the alternative. He pleaded to the latter and Justice Jo-Ann Barlow deferred his sentencing for a probation report and impact statement from the victim.
