A Saly­bia man was doused with a liq­uid on Thurs­day be­fore be­ing chopped about the body by a man he knew.

Po­lice said the 43-year-old was walk­ing through a track in his gar­den at Pierre Street Ex­ten­sion, Saly­bia, around 8.30 am on April 10 – when he saw the sus­pect whom he knew, stand­ing be­hind a co­conut tree with a cut­lass in his hand.

He then saw the man hold­ing a plas­tic bot­tle with a liq­uid in it.

As he got clos­er, he could hear the sus­pect count­ing back­wards from ten – and when he reached ze­ro, the sus­pect threw the con­tents of the bot­tle in his face.

As the vic­tim turned and ran to­wards his home, he was pur­sued by the sus­pect and as he fell to the ground, the sus­pect walked up and be­gan chop­ping him about the body.

The vic­tim’s fam­i­ly in­ter­vened and con­tact­ed emer­gency health of­fi­cials, who took both men to the San­gre Grande Hos­pi­tal.
