On July 31 2019, Cortwright DeSilva of Bolans chopped Karim \u201cSolid Gold\u201d Samuel multiple times about the body, leaving him bleeding profusely at the scene near V&M Supermarket in Bolans.<\/p>\n

Samuel was rushed to the then Mount St John\u2019s Medical Centre where his condition was described as serious and critical, having lost a lot of blood from the wounds to his neck, back, right arm and fingers.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

He underwent emergency surgery during which he received blood transfusions.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The altercation between Samuel and DeSilva started over mangoes.<\/p>\n

DeSilva was subsequently charged with wounding with intent to murder and when the case came before the High Court recently, he admitted to the charge.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

On Wednesday, Justice Ann-Marie Smith told the accused that he must cover the medical bill of the victim in the sum of $16,000 and also pay the state $2,000.-Newsco<\/p>\n
