Deportee kills man who refuses him meal
Police were last night hunting for a deportee who allegedly stabbed a 47-year-old man to death in Enterprise Gardens, East Coast Demerara, after the victim had refused to give him a meal.
The slain man at Enterprise, E.C.D.
Rajendra Persaud, of Lot 458 Church Street, Enterprise, was found dead at around 18:30 hrs on the eastern parapet of Marigold Street. Relatives alleged that Persaud, who is unemployed, was stabbed during a brief altercation with a deportee known only as ‘Ano Boy’.
Kaieteur News was told that Persaud was walking through the street when he was attacked. The suspect fled the scene and is still to be arrested.
A neighbour of the slain man told Kaieteur News that Persaud had known the deportee for years and that the victim would sometimes provide the suspect with liquor, food and cigarettes. Persaud is constructing a small house in Enterprise and it is alleged that the deportee, who has no fixed place of abode, turned up at the house at around 14:00 hrs and asked for a meal.
However, Persaud reportedly refused and chased the suspect.
Relatives alleged that the man returned some time later and attempted to set the unfinished house alight and a quarrel ensued between the two men.
It is alleged that Persaud was heading back to his property at around 16:30 hrs when the suspect attacked him. Someone later contacted Persaud’s wife to inform her that her husband was dead.
The victim is survived by his wife and a 20-year-old daughter.
