The 46-year-old man who was found in his bathroom with two gunshot wounds to the abdomen three Mondays ago is still a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC)’s Intensive Care Unit.
Kenneth Melville, a gold miner and a licensed firearm holder of 30 Tuschen Housing Scheme, East Bank Essequibo (EBE) is currently on life support at the hospital, battling for his life for almost three weeks.
According to the man’s sister, Maisey, since her brother was shot, he has not regained consciousness and is not showing any signs of improvement.
She added that a few days after her brother was shot, one of her sisters received a text message from an unknown person. She explained that the text message was “threatening” and contained information concerning her brother’s shooting.
The family is now contemplating whether Melville’s injuries were self-inflicted or someone had shot him.
Kaieteur News was told that Melville has no problem with anyone but he was once involved with a woman for about six months. According to relatives, the woman “made his life hell” and had threatened to harm him.
There has been no information of the woman’s whereabouts since Melville was shot.
On May 20, last, Melville was found in his bathroom by one of his sisters. It was reported that the man was bleeding profusely and the gun was found next to him. He was rushed to the Leonora Cottage Hospital and was later transferred to GPHC, where he has remained a patient.
