A police official said that Charles was arrested yesterday afternoon in the village by ranks who had staked out the area since Thursday night.
Kaieteur News understands that the suspect has admitted to his involvement in the stabbing incident, which resulted in the death of 32-year-old Cedric Williams.
The slain man is reportedly related to a woman that Charles was convicted of killing some nine years ago.
Police allege that Charles, who is from Foulmouth, killed Williams shortly after midnight on Thursday.
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 hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
The suspect 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.
