Police and prison authorities were called out last night to quell a brawl between rival gangs in which inmates set mattresses alight and which left a 19-year-old prisoner hospitalized with stab wounds.
The vendetta is said to be between inmates from Agricola and East Ruimveldt, and has resulted in at least two recent execution-style killings. Injured last night was remand prison Romel Ross, 19, of Agricola, East Coast Demerara. He was rushed to the GPHC with what appeared to be multiple stab wounds, but did not appear to be in a critical state.
Relatives said that Ross has been in prison since January. He has reportedly been attacked twice before, and a relative said that they had pleaded with prison authorities to have him isolated for his safety.
Kaieteur News was told that members of one gang has threatened to harm inmates from Agricola, and that this stems from the recent murder of 23-year-old Kellon Hinds, called ‘Baige,’ who was gunned down a few weeks ago in East Ruimveldt. He was killed hours after being released from custody.
Hinds himself was a suspect in the murder of Sherwyn Barrow, who was slain in ‘warlock’, East Ruimveldt last May.
Shawn Barrow, a relative of the slain Sherwyn Barrow, was charged last week for Kellon Hinds’ murder. He is currently an inmate at Camp Street.
