A woman has been arrested in connection with the brutal murder of 25-year-old mechanic,
Pooran Baljit, whose bloodied body was discovered in his bedroom at his Lot 57 Madewini, Soesdyke, East Bank Demerara home Thursday night.
Kaieteur News understands that the police are working on several leads but seem close to solving Baljit’s murder.
The mechanic was stabbed to death around 21:00 hrs, right next to the room his parents were sleeping in.
He was discovered in a pool of blood on the floor of his bedroom.
Reports are that the mechanic was stabbed to the right and left side shoulder and left side stomach.
The killer escaped, leaving a knife on the windowsill in the mechanic’s bedroom.
The cops are working on several theories as they investigate the young man’s death. One such theory is that Baljit’s attacker entered his bedroom through an open window and hid there until the young man went inside and bolted the door.
Another theory is that the assailant might have grabbed the mechanic from outside the room window and stabbed him repeatedly as he was about to close it before retiring to bed.
Baljit’s body was discovered by his mother who immediately rushed him to the Diamond Diagnostic Centre.
According to information received, a short while after Baljit’s parents retired to bed, his mother heard her son screaming.
The woman alerted her husband, Harichand Baljit, and they both rushed to their son’s room to see what was happening but discovered that the room was locked from inside.
While the woman waited at her son’s door, her husband ran out to the side of their house to get to his son’s bedroom. It was there that he saw his son was lying in a pool of blood.
