Duchy Road and a machete A KNIFEMAN who was badly injured when his bike was struck by a car in a hit and run, tried to hide the machete he was carrying. As Garikai Gwayagwaya lay in a garden with a severely broken leg and back injuries he shoved the weapon under a fence, burying it under soil, before the emergency services arrived. But he was spotted by a witness and, after initially claiming the machete had been a present he had bought for his father, 25-year-old Gwayagwaya, of Mount Pleasant Road, Farnworth, pleaded guilty to possessing a knife in a public place.
