DIANDRA REBIERO, 21, of McDoom, Port Kaituma, North West District (NWD), was, two Saturdays ago, stabbed to her leg after she refused to hand over the “kitty” (strongbox) during a robbery at Marshall Backdam, North West District (NWD).

Reports indicate that on March 6, 2021, the victim was heading back to her camp when she was attacked by a 32-year-old operator of Canal Bank, Port Kaituma, NWD, who demanded that she hand over the “kitty”.

However, after she refused, the robber reportedly stabbed her to her right leg, thus causing her to fall to the ground.
He then took the box which contained 12 pennyweights of raw gold valued at $180,000 and made good his escape.

Meanwhile, one day after the incident, whilst the victim was in her hammock, the suspect approached her with a cutlass in his right hand and dealt her several blows about her body, causing her to sustain injuries.
