THE police are investigating the stabbing of a 31-year-old mechanic of Melanie Damishana North, East Coast Demerara (ECD), by a fellow villager with whom he had an ongoing feud.
According to reports, Alex Sylvain was attacked by an individual known as ‘Ray,’ who was armed with a cutlass and knife on October 29, 2019 at Melanie Damishana North, ECD.

Enquiries disclosed that Sylvain received information that the suspect ‘Ray’ and others had robbed his brother Nicholas Sylvain on October 28, 2019, on the ‘Melanie’ Public Road.
On October 29, Alex met ‘Ray’ and enquired of him about the robbing of his brother; as a result, an argument erupted between them. It is alleged that ‘Ray’ then armed himself with a cutlass and a knife, stabbed Alex to the right side of his chest and fled.

The victim was picked up by public-spirited persons and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he was admitted and underwent surgery.
An investigation is underway and ‘Ray’ is yet to be arrested.
