Corentyne man chopped by intruders, one in custody

A Corentyne resident was on Thursday morning attacked and badly injured by about three armed bandits who broke and entered his home which he shares with his wife and children at Belvedere, Corentyne Berbice.
The injured man, Yufraj Ramphal, 27, was at home with his wife when the home invaders some of whom he recognized broke into their home, and carried out the attack.
The man’s wife, Bibi Afreeza, who is reportedly pregnant and was also at home with the children, was hit on her head with a metal pipe by one of the intruders.
Ramphal was chopped on his forearm, head and upper arm. One of his fingers was severed.
This is reportedly the third time that the family has been attacked.
One man has been arrested and is in custody as the investigation continues.
