Brazilian succumbs to stab wound to the neck

Feb 04, 2013 News

Police at Lethem are keeping an eye out for a TM truck (bush truck) which is believed to have transported the suspected killers of a Brazilian teen who succumbed yesterday from a stab wound to his neck.
The 17-year-old, identified as Paulo Maurico Da Silva, was found mortally wounded on the roadway at Tabatinga, Lethem around 14:30 hours.
The teen, according to reports, resides at Bon Fin, neighbouring Brazil but dwells at San Bora, North Rupununi, whenever he is in Guyana.
Sources say that Da Silva, also known as Charles Thomas, sustained a single wound to his neck but bore other lacerations about the body. He was picked up by nearby dwellers and rushed to the Lethem Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
This newspaper understands that Da Silva was at a popular night club called Satie, where he spotted his Brazilian girlfriend in the company of some other young men.
He was also said to have been in the company of another young lady.
However he severed his company with the other young lady and ordered his girlfriend to leave with him angering the group of men who were in her company.
Kaieteur News understands that while the two walked towards Da Silva’s residence, they were attacked by the same group of young men. “They like they follow dem with dey bush truck,” a source in the area told Kaieteur News.
Da Silva’s girlfriend reportedly ran away and left him to fend for himself “and dem boy bank he.”
It is believed that after being stabbed, Da Silva ran a short distance before collapsing, where he was eventually found.
