A teenager is now dead after intervening in a fight between his father and some Amerindian men. The killing occurred at the Timehri docks on Friday.
The father was apparently unloading cabbage when he was confronted by the individuals and a scuffle ensued.
The young man identified as 17-year-old David Toney, of Alliance Road, Timehri, East Bank Demerara worked at the docks loading and offloading vehicles.
David Toney resided with his grandmother. He reportedly left home to go to his
place of work, when the incident occurred.
He was discovered with a stab wound to his left side chest. The body which was covered in a yellow sheet was on the ground, a few feet away from the Demerara River.
His father received a stab to the abdomen and his back, while his stepmother was stabbed to the shoulder and the hip.
The body was removed by undertakers. Rigor mortis had already set. The grandmother of the deceased was wailing uncontrollably as residents tried to console her.
The perpetrators are known and could be easily identified. Police are investigating the matter.
