Acting on information received, police yesterday swooped down on a house at Diamond, East Bank Demerara, where they nabbed the main suspect in last Sunday’s fatal stabbing at Industry, East Coast Demerara.
This publication was told that around 15:00 hours yesterday, ranks went to the house having received a tip-off that the man was hiding out by relatives.
The suspect was apprehended and taken into custody.
Up to press time yesterday the man was assisting with investigations. This publication was told that two other men are being sought.
Adrian Richmond, 31, called ‘Pinky’ was pronounced dead at the Georgetown Public Hospital, Sunday, after he was stabbed. The dead man’s brother told Kaieteur News that he and his brother were betting on a dog fight, and those who placed their bets on a dog that lost, became angry and started to create problems.
“The problem wasn’t with me brother. The people started cursing at me, and somebody said that they gon chop off me neck, so me brother start telling them that they overreacting and that it didn’t call fuh all ah that.”
The man said that before he knew it, a scuffle began, and about seven men pounced on his brother.
“One ah de men did stabbing me brother during the scuffle, but we didn’t know. Is only when he get up and walk about two feet away and he collapse.”
The man’s brother said that in making arrangements for the injured father of three to be transported to the hospital, the perpetrators, who are not known to the family, were able to make good their escape.
The man’s body reportedly bore several stab wounds that seemed to have been inflicted with an ice-pick or similar instrument.
