Police investigate another interior murder
The police have dispatched a team of investigators to Moruka, North West District to investigate yet another murder in Guyana’s hinterland.
Reports from the police stated that the team was dispatched after the force received reports that miner Fabian George, 25, was fatally chopped by a man with whom he had an argument.
According to the police the incident is reported to have occurred about 13:30 hours on Tuesday, while they both were imbibing at Kairko Village, Moruka.
Divisional Commander David Ramnarine had earlier indicated that there seems to be a bigger problem than just law enforcement when it comes to the high incidence of murder in the interior.
“It is clear that the tolerance level of these men in these mining areas is very low or limited and it also seems that their ability to restrain themselves from violent behaviour is directly affected by their consumption of intoxicating drink,” the Commander had told Kaieteur News.
The majority of murders in the mining districts have been classified as disorderly.
“To my mind this is a bigger social problem than just the effort of law enforcement,” Ramnarine said.
