Man stabbed to death at wedding house
Police on the West Bank of Demerara have detained a man to assist with investigations into the stabbing death of a Pouderoyen resident.
Reports are that 30-year-old Anil Persaud of Bella Dam, Pouderoyen, died while receiving treatment at the Georgetown Public Hospital some time around noon yesterday.
According to the dead man’s wife, Robina Persaud, on Saturday evening she and her husband left their home to attend a relative’s wedding at Independence Street, La Grange.

She said that while mingling with friends at the wedding some time around 11:45 p.m. someone ran to her telling her that her husband was stabbed and was bleeding profusely on the road.
Mrs. Persaud added that she immediately ran to her husband’s rescue and saw him lying on the road surrounded by several persons.
“We don’t know what happened, but somebody said there was a fight and me husband and two other persons get stab,” she recalled.
The woman said that, with the assistance of other family members who were present, her husband was rushed to the West Demerara Regional Hospital.
He was subsequently transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital for further treatment but died later.
Mrs. Persaud said she would still like to know what really transpired that resulted in her husband’s death.
So far, she said, the only thing she was told was that a man whom the police suspect is responsible for her husband’s death has been taken into police custody.
