C’tyne resident stabbed to death during drinking spree
A father of four and a resident of Corentyne, Berbice, was stabbed to death in the wee hours of Monday morning.
Dead: Karamchand Jagessar
The dead man has been identified as Karamchand Jagessar, called “Gano”, 41, of Williamsburg, Corentyne, Berbice, and of Second Street Alberttown, Georgetown. He was also a vendor of Bourda Market in Georgetown.
The incident took place at Satesh Liquor Restaurant at Port Mourant, Corentyne, Berbice. According to information, Jagessar resides between his mother’s residence on the Corentyne and a brother in Georgetown. He is a fan of horseracing and returned to Berbice to attend the horse race event that was held on Sunday on the Corentyne.
Further information states that after the horse racing event, the victim and the accused were among a number of persons at the Satesh Liquor Restaurant imbibing alcoholic beverages. They were at separate tables.
Around 01:10 hrs an argument broke out between the two men over some deal that went sour. The argument continued as the men went outside and the suspect took out a knife he had concealed and stabbed Jagessar in the region of his stomach. The injury ripped the man’s stomach and his belly.
The injured man fell and was picked up and taken to the Port Mourant Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
According to the man’s relatives they were at home when they got the tragic news that Jagessar got stabbed and was on the road, but by the time they got to the scene he was already dead.
They were not allowed to see the body. They were able to see him at the hospital.
“His guts were out,” one relative said.
According to his mother, Elizabeth Narine, she was at home when she got a call from her brother that her son “get stab up.” She said that she left home with the intention to take her son to the hospital. She never knew it was so serious and that her son had actually died.
The suspect fled the scene, but was subsequently arrested and is in custody.
Jagessar’s four children, two of whom are still in school, live with their mother in Georgetown.
