A man who severely stabbed his co-worker last year will be serving more than two-thirds of the maximum sentence for his crimes.<\/p>\n

Youseff Dion McDougal pleaded guilty to wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm when he was arraigned in October 2022 before Justice Colin Williams.<\/p>

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

On May 6 2021, McDougal and Shakiel Joseph, who were both employed by the National Solid Waste Management Authority, got into an argument.<\/p>

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

When Joseph turned his back, the defendant stabbed him in his back and chest.<\/p>\n

The victim managed to escape from McDougal and fled the scene by running onto a side road near the Golden Grove Primary School.<\/p>

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

The accused, however, ran after him and stabbed him three more times in the right side of his stomach.<\/p>\n

Their colleagues, who tried to put a stop to the attack, contacted the police.<\/p>

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

The victim, whose 24th birthday was two days after the incident, spent quite some time in the hospital where he had to undergo lifesaving surgery.<\/p>

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

Yesterday, the judge sentenced father-of-three McDougal to 10 years and nine months in prison out of a possible 15 years.<\/p>\n
