Man slain by workmate in mining camp
A 41-year-old mining company employee became the New Year’s fourth murder victim when he was stabbed to death by a workmate on Friday at Frenchman, Upper Demerara River.
Seibert Moore, of Victory Valley, Wismar, Linden, was reportedly slain during an altercation in a mining pit at the Empire Mining Company, in the Upper Demerara River.
The workmate who allegedly committed the act is in police custody.
According to reports, the two men were arguing when the worker pulled out a knife and stabbed Moore to the chest, and other parts of the body.
Other employees caught the assailant and handed him over to the police. Moore was pronounced dead on arrival at the Linden Hospital Complex.
Relatives said that Moore had only recently started working at the Empire Mining Company.
“Is only a few months he started to work there, because he used to be doing odd jobs about the place,” a relative told this newspaper.
The relative added that Moore lived alone and was unmarried, but has a daughter who resides overseas. He was described as a quiet individual.
“It is really sad the way people are killing people these days, as if there is no respect for life anymore,” a distressed relative said.
“I think we should start hanging people again, because if we do that then people would think twice, before they kill somebody.”
It was only last week Saturday that another Lindener, 66-year-old Kingsley Joseph, was found chopped to death a few yards from his Phase Three, Wisroc Housing Scheme home.
Joseph had reportedly returned to Guyana about six years ago after residing overseas for several years.
Police had detained, but subsequently released, the slain man’s grandson and a female associate of the victim.
