Bakary Marong, 33, has been arrested for seriously cutting one Seedy Hydara, a grade 11 student, with a cutlass, this paper has been reliably informed.

Dependable sources told this paper that Bakary on Thursday, around 7:40am, went after the victim’s father, Sheriff Maline Hydara, in his Bundung compound but did not meet him home at the time.

Just after the victim, Seedy Hydara, informed him that his father was out, Bakary all of a sudden went berserk and struck him first on the forehead, then the arm and lastly on his back, apparently incensed at something the victim’s father had done.

According to the sources, Bakary Marong disclosed that he was bent on settling a score with Sheriff Maline Hydra for reportedly employing his service in Dasilami for six long years on the alleged promise that he would give him a wife in return but reneged on it.

Meanwhile, Seedy Hydra, said to be in a critical condition, is being treated at the Intensive Care Unit of RVTH. 

Bakary Marong is said to be a native of Farafenni but currently residing in Tanji, Kombo South.
