phone” from someone in Enterprise, East Coast Demerara (ECD), is battling for his life at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
Levi Armstrong, of Lot 222 Dazzell Housing Scheme, East Coast Demerara (ECD) sustained multiple injuries and is attached to a life support machine in the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit.
According to reports, the 30-year-old man grabbed someone’s phone in Enterprise, but was attacked by a mob in the village. He was allegedly beaten with wood, steel and metal pipe and left to die on the roadway. Armstrong’s father, Brandy would only say, “I don’t know anything.”
Meanwhile, a friend of the 30-year-old man, Royan Frank, said that he received a call that his friend was brutally beaten and left to die in Enterprise. “When I got there, I saw him apparently lifeless and blood was all over the place.”
Frank said that when he tried to inquire from residents what transpired, no one wanted to speak to him.
“His jaw break, his foot and hand. They beat he bad, bad. The doctor tells me that he will die,” the man said.
Frank said that he is not sure if his friend indeed grabbed someone’s phone, but claimed that he was never involved in any criminal activities in the past.
