The boat captain accused of stabbing 43-year-old Nawab Mohamed on Friday at the Stabroek Market Stelling said that the event was sparked by constant provocation.
The man is refuting the article under the caption “Colleague stabs boat captain” which was carried in last Sunday’s Edition.
According to the boat captain, Richard Griffith, after listening to insulting remark pertaining to his family from Mohamed, it finally became unbearable when Mohamed moored his boat in between his and another and tried to loose his mooring rope without permission.
“He (Mohamed) told his bowman to loose my rope and I told them they can’t loose it. Then he said ‘Don’t worry with them; dem is cross! I say boy is me you talking to, and he say no is another captain! Then I say like you behaving like I owe you something and he told me no that I owe he meh wife and meh two daughters. “
Adding that it’s the third occasion that he was told about his wife and children, Griffith said he made complaints to the monitor assigned to Stabroek Market stelling previously.
A scuffled ensued. “I went into his boat and we had a scuffle, and as a seaman I always have a knife to cut ropes and stuff like that. And during the scuffle he got stabbed.”
After the ordeal, Griffith was taken to the police outpost where he was transferred to the East La Penitence Station and was placed on station bail. Meanwhile, Mohamed was taken to the hospital for medical treatment.
Underscoring that he has been a speed boat operator for the past 15 years, Griffith said he compensated Mohamed $125,000 yesterday for his injuries. “But the thing I don’t understand is why he said I say the police can’t do me nothing, I didn’t say that.”
A receipt was produced that was signed by a Justice of Peace that $125,000 was paid over to Mohamed.
