Man turns over son, 14, to police in Belle West stabbing death
One of the teens allegedly involved in Monday night’s murder at Belle West, West Bank Demerara, is currently in police custody assisting with investigations.
Dead: Imran Mohamed
This publication was told that around mid-morning yesterday, a 14-year-old boy who was in the company of his father and a lawyer made their way into the La Grange Police Station.
The police were allegedly informed that the teen was involved in the fracas on Monday night which resulted in the death of 17-year-old Imran Mohamed.
Up to press time yesterday, the teen was still in custody being questioned.
However, the prime suspect and one other teen who were involved in the incident remained at large. Reports are that Mohamed, who practices carpentry for a living, was confronted on Belle West Road by three neighbourhood youths on bicycles.
A friend of the deceased, Harish Persaud, who was with the teen before he died, had told this publication that they were confronted by the suspects just outside a shop around 18:25hrs. They were on their way home when they were attacked.
Both Mohamed and his friend were involved in a brawl with their three attackers, during which he was fatally stabbed.
The teen was rushed to the West Demerara Regional Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. The incident is said to have stemmed from an old grievance over a gold chain.
