The Mc Doom man who attacked and chopped an acquaintance who owed him $5000 was on Thursday jailed for 8 years by Justice Brassington Reynolds at the Georgetown High Court.
Toney Marcus, 45, who had initially pleaded not guilty to the offence changed his plea after a psychological evaluation proved that he was fit to stand trial.
It was reported that he on July 4, 2014, feloniously wounded Etwaru Narine with intention of causing him grievous bodily harm or to maim, disfigure or disable him.
The Virtual Complainant (VC) was imbibing at a shop when the accused asked him for money. An argument ensued, and Marcus allegedly chopped him several times.
Marcus who had a stable upbringing was said to have suffered mental health issues linked to abuse of narcotics.
He was unrepresented while Attorney Tiffini Lyken prosecuted the case.
