Two men were injured after they were involved in a fight over a missing pig at Rose Hall Town, Corentyne, on Sunday evening.

According to information gathered, the incident occurred on Sunday at about 7 pm.
Stabroek News was told, that Ramangal and Morgan, who are friends, had an argument over a missing pig.
Ramangal then reportedly became upset and dealt Morgan a lash to the right side of his forehead resulting in him sustaining an injury.
As a result, a scuffle then ensued between the two when the suspect, 27, of Rose Hall Town who was standing nearby whipped out a knife from his waist and stabbed Ramangal in his abdomen.
Both men were rushed to the Port Mourant Hospital. Ramangal was eventually transferred to the New Amsterdam Public Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit where he was admitted in a critical condition.
His mother, Mavis Rangasammy, relayed that as of yesterday afternoon he was not able to breathe on his own. “I want justice for my son, he can’t breathe and talk. He deh on a machine”, she said.
