Pregnant teacher, significant other attacked in bed by cutlass-wielding bandits

An 18-year-old pregnant teacher has been left traumatised while her partner, a 26-year-old mechanic, is nursing chop wounds about his body after three (3) men, each of whom were armed with a cutlass, stormed into the couple’s home and chopped the man about his body before they robbed the couple of jewellery and valuables.

The armed robbery occurred on Wednesday night in the St. Ignatius Village, Central Rupununi, Region Nine (Upper Takutu- Upper Essequibo) and involved four (4) male suspects, ages 18, 22, 23 and 49.

HGP Nightly News understands that the pregnant victim was in bed with her partner when the three (3) cutlass-wielding bandits kicked down the front door of their home and started to “deal several lashes and chops to the body of her partner who eventually escaped.”
