AssaultAttempted Murder

1 injured

Man chopped and doused with kerosene in alleged attack (Roland Banwarie, 55)

Cedar Hill Estate Road, about 75 feet inside M1 Tasker Road, Princes Town, Woodlands , Princes Town

On Saturday, June 7, 2025, at approximately 7:40 p.m., Roland Banwarie, 55, of Malgretoute Road, Princes Town, was attacked by two known suspects identified as Rondell of Malgretoute Road and Roger Anrow of Iere Village, Princes Town. Banwarie was seated in a brown Toyota Corolla Cressida with the two men when an argument broke out, prompting them to drive to Cedar Hill Estate Road where they forcibly removed him from the vehicle. The suspects inflicted multiple chop wounds to Banwarie's head, neck, chest, stomach, hands, and feet. They then doused him with kerosene and attempted to set him on fire in what appears to be an attempted murder. Banwarie managed to escape by running east along the road and was subsequently treated by EHS personnel for his injuries. Princes Town police responded to the scene at approximately 9:55 p.m. and are investigating the incident.
