Dec 29, 2012 News

Roy Lewis, 38, who is accused of stabbing his ‘step nephew’ to death on Thursday last, was up to press time, yesterday, in a critical condition at the New Amsterdam Hospital. This publication was told that Lewis remained under police guard at the medical institution and was being treated for poison ingestion.
On Thursday, 18-year-old Devon Da Silva was stabbed to death allegedly by Lewis while at his girl friend’s home at Sisters Village, East Bank, Berbice. During the ordeal, Da Silva’s girlfriend Ashley Whyte, also sustained injuries to her hand as she attempted to save her boyfriend.
According to Ashley’s mother, Janice Whyte, her son, who is a policeman stationed at Fort Wellington, left home around 02:10 hours for work and when she got up to close the gate, she noticed a shadow but didn’t pay much attention.
Sometime later screams were heard coming from the upper flat of the house. By the time Whyte and her husband got into the upper flat of the building, Lewis had already carried out his brutal attack on Da Silva with whom he once shared a sexual relationship.
The injured Da Silva was rushed to the New Amsterdam Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. His girl friend was also treated at the same medical institution for injures but was subsequently released. Their attacker subsequently revealed that he had ingested poison and was rushed to the hospital where he was treated and admitted.
This publication was told that the attacker and the deceased once shared a relationship. However Da Silva decided to sever the relationship much to the disapproval of Lewis. Reports are that Da Silva once secured a restraining order against Lewis. There are also reports that Lewis had made previous attempts to harm Da Silva.
