Tifanny Daniels, 21, a Venezuelan national who migrated to Guyana, encountered an unexpected ill fate in Cuyuni when one of her co-workers chopped off part of one of her arms over the disappearance of six pennyweight of gold.
Around 9:00 p.m. on Friday last, Daniels and her boyfriend Daniel Gobin, 19, were reportedly imbibing with ‘Bull’, a fellow worker, at a shop close to their camp.

I jump out of de bed and snatch de cutlass from he, and dat’s how I get this cut pon me hand. After I grab de cutlass from he, he dash run out of de room.”
Daniels was air dashed to the city, where she was transported to the Georgetown Public Hospital and remains a patient of the Intensive Care Unit.
