Killer pit-bulls’ owner on $100,000 station bail

Sep 25, 2016 News

More than a week after four pit-bulls mauled a man to death and attacked two other persons at Leonora, West Coast Demerara (WCD), the owner of the dogs, Marceline Small, has not been charged.
Instead, the woman was placed on $100,000 station bail and still has the dogs in her care.
Small is the wife of Jarvis Barry Small, who was sentenced to 96 years in prison for the 2010 murder of Neesa Gopaul.
The dogs attacked the victims some time between 03:00 hrs and 06:00 hrs on September 15, last.
The body of the dead man, a vagrant, was discovered shortly after 06:00 hrs with bite marks about the body. Villagers identified the dead man as “Boxers.”
The injured persons have been identified as Wilmark Adams, a GUYSUCO worker of Cornelia Ida; and Ramanand Bhikam, a security guard of Stewartville, West Coast Demerara (WCD). Both men were bitten on the legs.
According to Adams, he was riding to work when the four dogs rushed out of the yard and attacked him, forcing him to defend himself for more than an hour, armed with only a piece of wood.
Adams said that the wood did not scare the dogs away. He said that he screamed for help but no one came to his rescue.
”I see (the owner) had a window open and I screaming but no one came. After an hour, a car came and the dogs run back into the yard,” the estate worker said.
Adams was taken to the hospital where he then made a report.
Meanwhile, Bhikam was returning home from work when three of the four dogs attacked him.
”I see the dogs in the streets but dogs does normally be in that area so I continued and when I reached close, the dogs attacked me. They bite up my food and I pulled a cutlass and chop them,” the guard said.
While the dogs were injured, none of them died. According to Bhikam, when the dogs ran back into the yard, he called out for the owner but no one answered. He then made a report to the police at Leonora before heading to the Cottage Hospital there. He subsequently learnt that he was not the only person attacked by the vicious animals.
It was while there that both men later learnt that the police picked up a body not far from where they were attacked.
