17-year-old among suspects in Estate worker killing

Jan 12, 2017 News

As investigators continue to probe the murder of 38-year-old Kawal Shivnauth, who was stabbed to death at a shop in Anna Catherina, West Coast Demerara (WCD), police have indicated that a 17-year-old is among the three suspects.
The teenager was arrested on Tuesday at Matthews Ridge and was taken to the Leonora Police Station where he refused to sign a statement, saying that he cannot read.
A police source said that they were trying to locate the teenager’s mother and sister, who reside somewhere in Berbice.
The teenager is the second suspect to be held for Shivnauth’s murder. The man’s stepson was arrested early on Tuesday at the Anna Catherina seawall and reportedly confessed to the murder.
The stepson told the police that it was when Shivnauth approached him and instructed that he stop harassing his 15-year-old daughter that he got upset and felt embarrassed. He said that when he and his two friends saw the 38-year-old man in the shop, they attacked and stabbed him.
A third suspect is on the run.
Shivnauth died at the Leonora Cottage Hospital.
