A man lost his life last night after he was stabbed by a security guard while trying to dump garbage in a Quamina Street, South Cummingsburg premises.
The man, who was identified as Nigel Lawson, was stabbed after he was challenged by the guard just after 20:00 hours.
Kaieteur News understands that the security guard who is presently in police custody assisting with investigations, observed the man with the garbage just as he was about to dump it on the property he was guarding. He challenged the man who put up a resistance.
A fight ensued and the guard inflicted several stab wounds to the man’s body.
The victim collapsed and succumbed shortly after.
The police were called in and immediately cordoned off the area as the dead man lay on the parapet.
