FOUR persons have been injured during a brawl among women on Quamina Street, Georgetown, Monday morning.

In a release, police said they are investigating the unlawful wounding of Shavel Accra, 35, a hairdresser of Block ‘E’ South Sophia; her cousin Toshawn Jiles, 25, unemployed, of  Lot 28 Holmes Street, South Cummingsburg; Niketa Lewis, 21, a sales girl, of Lot 12 ‘A’ Queen Street, South Cummingsburg and her sister Stacyann Chandra, 24, a clothes vendor- all of whom sustained various injuries about their bodies.

The incident occurred at Quamina Street, between Carmichael and Holmes streets, Cummingsburg on Monday, March 2, 2020 about 11:45hrs. Investigations revealed that the women are known to each other from the South Cummingsburg area (Tiger Bay) and that they have an on-going feud which started about a year ago. About 11:45hrs, on Monday, Stacyann Chandra and Niketa Lewis, along with their mother Marlyn Chandra, went to The Bishops’ High School where they cast their ballots, and, while on their way home, they were approached by Shavel Accra and Toshawn Jiles, who earlier, voted at the said school.
Shavel Accra then allegedly assaulted Marlyn Chandra, and, following an exchange of words, Chandra and her daughters left and went home.

However, Niketa and Stacyann armed themselves with knives and they proceeded back to where the incident started and confronted Toshawn and Shavel who were also armed with a cutlass and knives respectively. As a result, they reportedly got into a physical confrontation during which they were injured.

They were escorted to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation and, while being attended to, Niketa Lewis and Stacyann Chandra departed the institution and went to the Woodlands Hospital where they were treated and admitted. Toshawn and Shavel received medical attention and have been admitted at the GPHC. The condition of each combatant is considered serious but stable.
