Drunken Succotz brawl ends in chopping

A similar incident in Benque Viejo has left another man in critical condition. According to cops, around twelve-thirty Friday morning twenty-one year old Succotz villager Oscar Itza was drinking with his friends when a fight broke out. During the melee, two men pulled out machetes and the blades struck Itza in the head and right shoulder. The bleeding victim was rushed to the San Ignacio Hospital and later transferred to the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital where his condition is considered critical. Itza’s two “friends”, twenty-two year old Estuardo Valencia and his brother, twenty-six year old Elvis Valencia have since been charged with attempted murder, dangerous harm, and use of deadly means of harm. The brothers have since been remanded to Hattieville prison until the nineteenth of April.
