Port Kaituma man found with throat slit
Residents of Port Kaituma awoke yesterday morning to shocking news of the death of 36 year old Steve George of 4 Mile, who was found lying on the Quarry roadside with his throat slit, forehead bashed in and with lacerations about his body.
According to the sister of the dead man, Karen George, she last saw her brother on Sunday around 8 pm in front of her shop at her mother’s residence. He had brought a serving of pepper pot for her, and had asked her laughingly to accompany him to the launch of Amerindian Heritage in the district.
She was refused to go anywhere since her husband was not at home. She then locked up her shop and went home, while George headed towards “Fat Man Rum Shop.”
The following morning the woman said she was preparing her children for school when she got the news that her brother was murdered.
“I didn’t believe that it was he,” she said.
According to the woman her aunt sent her son to look at the body and ascertain if it was indeed George. The response came back in the affirmative, since the body was clad in a red Jersey and long boots which matched the clothes that George was wearing when he was last seen.
Karen stated that she doesn’t know who would commit such an act on her brother, or why he would find himself in such a position, since he was never involved in any problems. He was a quiet person she said.
The murdered man’s mother Elaine Lam related how her son would usually sleep out at family friends and would come home the next day, so she was not alarmed when he didn’t come home on Monday morning. She too confirmed that Steve was at “Fat Man Rum Shop” and he later went to the family friends who lived not far away.
Lam said she was told that her son left the family friend after midnight to come home at her residence in Four Miles, Port Kaituma. Lam said she got in contact with a police who said that he was conducting the investigation into the matter.
