Another teen in custody for stabbing death of Belle West lad

Oct 05, 2012 News

 

 

A second teen from the Belle West, West Bank Demerara community has been handed over to the police by his father for questioning into the murder of Imran Mohamed, 17.
The police had reportedly received information that the teen was involved in the fracas on Monday night which resulted in the death of Mohamed.
Reports are that a 14-year-old was handed over to the police on Tuesday night last by his father, while a second lad, age 16, was turned over also by his father to the La Grange Police Station Wednesday evening.
Up to press time yesterday, both teens were still in custody.
Reports are that Mohamed, who practices carpentry for a living, was confronted on Belle West Road by three neighbourhood youths who were 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.
A post mortem is expected to be performed on Mohamed’s body sometime later today.
