FITZROY Feed, 45 years, also known as ‘Chicken’ of lot 75 Republic Avenue, MacKenzie, Linden was discharged from the Linden Hospital Complex yesterday after being admitted a patient for several hours in the burns care section.

Feed was on Sunday allegedly doused with a corrosive substance by his reputed wife, 30-year-old Dawn Fortune, of the same address.
The Guyana Chronicle was informed that following his discharge yesterday police visited the man’s home and took a statement from him in relation to what transpired there on Sunday between himself and the woman.
Police sources had indicated that the man although hospitalised following the acid attack, was alert and out of danger as doctors stated that he had not received life-threatening burns about the body.
Meanwhile, up to late yesterday the suspect, Dawn Fortune, was still on the run even as police continue their hunt for her. However, yesterday the police received reports that the woman was out of the country.
According to information reaching the Chronicle, ranks of the Criminal Investigation Department in Georgetown were told that the woman purchased her air ticket to the United States and then went home and doused the man with the corrosive substance.
However, checks by the police revealed that there are no reports to suggest that the woman left the country through any of the legal ports of exit. However, the police would contact Interpol to seek assistance with her arrest if she indeed skips the country.
Initial investigations had suggested that the couple were having domestic issues and while one party opted to end the relationship, the other would not buy into such a move and they both remained together in the same house.
The argument between the two reportedly started over allegations of infidelity levelled against the man by his reputed wife.
