Just a day after his dramatic escape from the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, (GPHC) wounded goat thief Justin Rodney turned himself in at the same institution from which he had fled.
Rodney surrendered to security staff at the GPHC at around 21.00 hrs yesterday. At press time, he was being tended to by a doctor at the hospital’s Accident and Emergency Unit.
A source said that Rodney, who was shot in the buttocks, apparently sustained further injury during Saturday’s escape from the hospital.
The Buxton, East Coast Demerara suspect had escaped from the Male Surgical Ward, by clambering down a pipe, which runs from the top flat of the three-storey building to the ground floor.
A security guard at the hospital said that she saw the individual climbing down the pipe but thought that he was a carpenter and that he was doing “some work.”
Rodney reportedly then jumped the hospital fence at Lamaha Street and made good his escape. The patient was wearing a colostomy bag.
Some 35 minutes passed before the police rank assigned to guard Rodney realized that his prisoner had vanished.
Rodney was shot when he allegedly attacked a police rank last Thursday. He was with three others who were stealing goats in the Mahaica area.
