Manslaughter convict kills labourer over taunts
Wanted: Paul Charles, as he looked back in 2009
Released from prison just last November after killing a woman, 33-year-old Paul Charles is now on the run after allegedly stabbing a labourer to death at Foulmouth Village, Essequibo River.
The victim, 32-year-old Cedric Williams, is reportedly related to the female that Charles killed some nine years ago.
Police allege that Charles, who is from Foulmouth, Essequibo, killed Williams shortly after midnight yesterday during an argument.
According to reports, Williams, Charles, and Charles’s sister were imbibing ‘High Wine’ at the Foulmouth landing when an argument erupted between Williams and Charles over the suspect’s conviction for the death of a woman.
Police said the suspect became annoyed and stabbed Williams in the neck with a knife. He then fled.
Williams was taken to the Bartica Regional Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
The fugitive was just 23 when he was charged for murdering Patricia Williams, a female boat operator, whose body was found floating in Essequibo River in late 2009.
The killing was said to be an act of revenge.
He was subsequently convicted for manslaughter and served a ten-year sentence.
