Internet café owner slain in alleyway

Sep 23, 2008 News

– body bore stab wounds

A West Ruimveldt Internet café owner was stabbed to death, at around 20:30 hrs last evening, in an alleyway a short distance from his home.
The victim, identified as Desmond Davis, 38, called ‘Lion’, of Lot 251 West Ruimveldt Housing Scheme, was found lying in a pool of blood in the alleyway with stab wounds to his abdomen and right arm.
Reports indicate that he was attacked while coming out of the area on his motorcycle during a power outage.
While family members declined to comment on a motive, there are reports that Davis was slain by someone with whom he had an ongoing feud.
Kaieteur News understands that Davis was coming through the alleyway when the individual with whom he had a dispute confronted him.
An argument ensued, during which the individual whipped out a sharp object and stabbed Davis.
However, Davis’s body apparently lay in the dark alleyway for several minutes before it was discovered. 
Although several persons live near the alleyway, none of them admitted to seeing or hearing anything unusual.
A female resident said that her 11-year-old son was walking through the alleyway when he spotted Davis lying in a pool of blood on the ground.
Responding to the lad’s cries, the woman went to the scene, and, by the light of her cell phone, recognised the victim as Davis.
He was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, where doctors confirmed that he was dead.
Another woman said that Davis was playing cards at her house, and left when the power failure occurred.
Shortly after, she heard that he had been slain.
The slain man’s blood-streaked motorcycle was subsequently handed over to his relatives.
