Kitty seawall stabbing death…Deportee released on station bail

Apr 12, 2013 News

 

Police have released the 45-year-old deportee who is said to have stabbed an alleged seawall bandit to death, reportedly while defending a vendor who was being robbed.
Kaieteur News understands that the man was released yesterday afternoon on station bail.
It is alleged that the deportee inflicted the fatal injuries after 19-year-old Jamal Harris and an accomplice tried to rob a young vendor whom the deportee was assisting.
Kaieteur News was told that the vendor, who helps to manage his mother’s stalls, was being assisted by the deportee when Harris, approached and ordered the young man to hand over his valuables.
It is alleged that Harris tried to pull a handgun from his waist but the gun became snagged. The vendor allegedly grabbed Harris and threw him to the ground, but Harris’s alleged accomplice struck him (the vendor) on the head with a bottle. It was said that the second robber picked up the gun, which had dropped, and fled.
Meanwhile, Harris was allegedly scuffling with the vendor when the deportee stabbed him.
According to reports, the badly wounded man then followed his alleged accomplice and the two men entered a black Toyota Raum which drove up to the scene.
An individual who was in the Toyota Raum then drove Harris to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) but abandoned the vehicle and left the scene.
This newspaper understands that the injured vendor turned up at the GPHC for treatment at the same time that doctors were tending to Harris.
Police ranks who were at hospital then took the vendor to the Kitty Police Station. He was released that afternoon. The deportee later accompanied some of the vendor’s relatives to the station, where he was detained.
Investigators have been gathering information which indicates that the Toyota Raum that Harris had reportedly rented was used in several robberies along the seawall.
One of the victims was a young woman who was relieved of her phone when two young men armed with knives attacked them.
The owner of the vehicle told Kaieteur News yesterday that Harris had rented the vehicle the same day that this robbery occurred.
