Police on the East Coast Demerara are investigating the second murder in that district this week as a 24-year-old labourer was stabbed to death last evening at Non Pareil.
Rasheed Abdool called “Black Boy”
The man was identified as Rasheed Abdool, called “Black Boy” of 292, Non Pareil, ECD.
The other murder case earlier this week involved 42-year-old Allison Bowen, a mother of three. She was stabbed by her reputed husband at her Goedverwagting, ECD home and in full view of her two young sons.
According to reports, Abdool was in a heated argument with another man who was on a red bicycle. The man then whipped out a sharp instrument and proceeded to stab the labourer who bled to death on the public road.
His assailant then escaped on foot leaving his cycle and slippers behind. The cycle has since been impounded at the Vigilance Police Station.
“The man is known around the area as a handyman who does smoke up he thing,” one resident said.
At the scene of the incident residents converged in shock as police conducted their investigations. The body was taken away by Lyken Funeral Parlor.
