15-year-old daughter, the young man got upset and felt embarrassed. So, when he (stepson) saw the Uitvlugt estate worker at a shop in Anna Catherina, West Coast Demerara, on Monday night, he decided to vent his anger on the father of three.
With the help of his two friends, the young man started an argument with Shivnauth and then struck him to the back of his head with a bottle. The trio then ran out of the shop behind their victim and beat him. One of the three suspects then stabbed him twice to the abdomen after which they escaped.
This is the story the victim’s stepson reportedly told the cops at the Leonora Police Station when he was arrested yesterday morning at the Anna Catherina seawall.
A second suspect was apprehended at Matthews Ridge, Region one, as the police hunt for a third person.
The victim’s mother, Radha Lalchand said that her son indeed spoke to his stepson sometime back about harassing his daughter.
“It wasn’t anything big, he (victim) just talked to him about troubling the girl,” Lalchand said.
The woman said that her son was dating the suspect’s mother for about three years. “The woman doesn’t live with him (victim) but she goes there and spend time with him.”
Lalchan said that her grandchildren reside with her and on Sunday, last, he called and asked that she send the children over so that they could have spent the day by him since it was his birthday—that was the last time the woman heard from her son.
Meanwhile, at the scene, one of the victim’s relatives said that Shivnauth had an altercation with three men, and as he was about to exit the establishment, he was reportedly hit behind his head while another man pounced on him and began to stab him repeatedly.
Residents raised an alarm and the police were alerted.
Shivnauth was pronounced dead on arrival at the Leonora Cottage Hospital.
