Deceased Lieutenant Mark Bagot
The incident took place around 20:00hrs at a popular drinking bar in Philippe Village Berbice, where the deceased was drinking beer with a friend and the suspect.
According to reports the now dead man was drinking with his friend when the suspect walked in. Bagot’s friend reportedly asked the suspect to purchase a round of beer; the man complied.
Bagot later ordered another round of beer and the suspect refused to pay for the second round. Bagot claimed he would have paid for the round. An argument ensued between Bagot and the suspect which escalated into a scuffle.
The men were parted by other patrons of the bar. However, the suspect took out a knife and stabbed Bagot to the chest.
The dead man was rushed to the Port Mourant Hospital where he was treated and transferred to the New Amsterdam Hospital. However, he succumbed to his injuries while receiving further treatment.
The suspect reportedly hails from Black Bush Polder and has since gone into hiding. It was noted that Bagot was visiting his family for the holidays.
