Around 15:30 hrs, the student of Richard Ishmael Secondary School was on his way home when he was attacked by the two bandits, armed with knives, and who relieved him of his cellular phone.

They should tried as adults and given long sentences if convicted. For too long criminals have had the upper hand in the Garbage City.

Guyana needs to adapt a national service far away into the interior and let these hooligans work to build villages for little or no pay. Each one of them should spend two years for each offense. Putting these people in jail takes money and waste of labor. Put them to work and hopefully they can redeem them self in the process and return to society.

Hanging is not the answer to the problem. They say death is easier than 20 years at Mazaruni. The two recent murders that took place in Guyana, both assailants decided to take poison rather than to be caught alive. The message is clear that no one wants to spend time suffering in jail. I say let them serve the country rather than wasting time and money by being locked up.
