Two Guyana Defence Force soldiers were on Tuesday night rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH), from Base Camp Stephenson, Timehri, both in critical condition, one suffering a severe stab wound and the other suffering a heart attack.

Private Kevin Abinsetts 19, of Calcutta Mahaicony, arrived at the hospital with a deep stab-wound to the left knee, and bleeding profusely. He was stabilised and admitted to the High Dependency Unit of the hospital. The injury was reportedly inflicted by a colleague at the army base, shortly after 19:00 hrs. The name of the aggressor was not disclosed.

Also treated at the institution was another male rank, transported by the same military ambulance, in a serious condition, after reportedly suffering a heart attack. Late Tuesday night, he was still being treated by doctors, as other concerned ranks remained outside the hospital, tight lipped, but hoping and inwardly praying for a good report.
