In Guyana
A security guard succumbed to several stab wounds hours after being viciously attacked during a robbery at his South Sophia workplace on Saturday night.
Carl Nelson Bollers, 53, of ‘A’ Field, South Sophia died at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) early yesterday morning, police said. Bollers’ reputed wife, Eileen Elexey called ‘Slim’ blamed the lawmen for not responding promptly, saying that had they not taken three and a half hours to arrive, her husband may have survived.
In a statement, the police said that they are investigating the murder. At about 1 am yesterday, Bollers’ body, which bore several stab wounds, was found in the compound of the Mercy Wings Vocational Centre at South Sophia where he was on duty, the police said. He was taken to the GPHC where he succumbed to his injuries. The canteen of the Centre was broken into and a quantity of confectionery stolen, the statement said.
A sobbing Elexey yesterday bemoaned what she termed the uncaring attitude of persons in the Sophia ‘A’ area who refused to help her take Bollers to the hospital even as he lay face down in the compound of the Centre, where he was employed for the last ten years. “People in this life really cruel, ow God why, why they must tek me only companion,” cried Elexey as she knelt on the floor of the modest home she shared with her husband.
