More now on that story we’ve been bringing you about the man who was attacked by a machete in Courtenay.

It happened yesterday morning shortly after 4am. The victim is 89 years old. He was sitting inside his parked car. 

He’s recovering in hospital today - and as you can imagine, those who know and love him are shocked by what’s happened.

His name is Robert Plumb. And I’m joined now by Janelle Karatsikis, whose grandmother was Robert’s partner for 15 years before she passed away in May.

Guest: Janelle Karatsikis

Robert was the partner of Janelle’s late grandmother
