The police have detained a mute following a stabbing incident which has left a 41 year-old minibus conductor dead.
According to a police statement, Brian Hoyte of Shell Road, Kitty was fatally stabbed in the vicinity of the Stabroek Market shortly after midnight yesterday.
It was stated that Hoyte, called ‘Bruck-up,’ was involved in an argument with another man during which he was stabbed.
Police were summoned to the area and he was immediately rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
The suspect has been arrested and is in police custody, while police have recovered the murder weapon.
Meanwhile, the man’s reputed wife, Vanella Carter said she last spoke to Hoyte late yesterday afternoon.
“We live together but I would go home by my children for the weekend and he would normally call to check on me and dem children”.
The woman said some time earlier yesterday morning a friend called her and informed her that Hoyte was stabbed. She said by the time she got to the Georgetown Public Hospital she was told that her reputed husband had succumbed and his remains were being stored at the hospital’s mortuary. She said she went to the mortuary where she positively identified Hoyte’s remains.
Carter added that she has since been told that a man who is speech impaired has been detained. She however noted that persons who witnessed the incident said that the wrong person was arrested.
“The people at the market tell me that is another boy and he had some problem long now and is de two ah dem meet up again and ah argument start”.
She said her reputed husband has been a minibus conductor for more than fifteen years and has never gotten himself in any trouble.
“Imagine he went in hospital for one year after he get knock down and he aint dead and one stab wound kill he”.
