Dave Boreil
Police have formally charged four men in connection with the beating of businessman Dave Boriel who is currently in critical but stable condition at Tapion Hospital.
Gideon Elibox, Marcus Elibox, Leroy Elibox and Gilroy Elibox, all of Marc, Castries, were charged with attempted murder about mid afternoon on Friday.
The men, who are cousins, are scheduled to appear in court next Monday.
Boriel, 42, of New Dock Road, Vieux Fort was ganged by four men during an altercation at a cockfight venue in Industrial Estate, Vieux Fort shortly after midnight on Saturday, Feb. 1, 2014.
The altercation allegedly stemmed from a dispute over a cockfight game during which Boriel is accused of slapping one of the men. However, it is reported that Boriel apologised but was still attacked by the four men.
A hammer was allegedly used to inflict a serious blow to Boriel’s head.
Boriel was treated at St. Jude’s Hospital before he was transferred to Tapion Hospital where he remains in critical condition.
