A LONG-brewing feud between two women at Baramita, North West Region ended in a peacemaker being seriously wounded and the aggressor being taken into police custody over the weekend.

Twenty-two-year-old Everson Simon of Baramita, was yesterday air-dashed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) with chop wounds to the face. She allegedly sustained the injuries while attempting to part a fight between her sister, Velesta Simon, and a woman whose name was given only as ‘Gloria’.
The woman, who sustained injuries to her right eye, nose and across her mouth, told the Guyana Chronicle that the fight developed over an old problem between the two. The fight erupted on the roadway at Baramita around 21:00 hrs on Friday night. But when Everson saw that her sister was under attack from the knife-wielding woman, she advanced, with the intention of disarming the irate aggressor and was wounded.
She was rushed to the Matthew’s Ridge Hospital where she was sutured and given emergency treatment, pending her transfer to the GPHC.
Police are continuing their investigations.
