Miner alleges Chinese Landing Toshao tried to seize excavator at gunpoint

…accuses her brother of nearly severing worker’s arm during struggle to disarm her

Kaieteur News- A local miner at the centre of Thursday night’s violent confrontation at Chinese Landing is alleging that the Region One village’s Toshao, Nikita Miller, failed to tell the media the “full story” of what transpired.

The miner, Rylon Adolphus, also known as Isaac, claims that Miller, accompanied by her brother and about 15 other villagers, attempted to seize his excavator at gunpoint. He further alleges that during a subsequent confrontation, Miller’s brother launched a cutlass attack on one of his workers, Ian Perry, as they reportedly tried to disarm the Toshao.
