Fisherman remanded for murder of drinking buddy

Nov 08, 2020 News

Kaieteur News – A fisherman was remanded on Friday for the murder of his drinking buddy, said to be his friend and former workmate.
The murder took place on November 1, at Ocean Garden, Meten-Meer-Zorg, West Coast Demerara (WCD), Region Three.
Saif Khatoon aka “Grasie”, 20, of Lot 102 Ocean Garden, appeared at the Leonora Magistrate Court before Magistrate Ali Seepaul.
Khatoon was not required to plead the indictable charge which alleges that on November 21, 2020 he stabbed and killed Keron Williams, 20, a labourer also of Meten-Meer-Zorg.
The matter was adjourned until November 17, 2020.
Kaieteur News had reported that police were hunting “Grasie” as the prime suspect responsible for Williams’ death.
According to a police report Khatoon was nabbed on Tuesday.
Williams, bleeding from wounds to his left side chest, at around 17:15 hrs on Sunday, at Ocean Garden, was reportedly picked up by friends and taken to the Leonora Cottage Hospital where he died while receiving treatment.
Detectives were then able to name Khatoon as the suspect after it was learnt that he was reportedly seen drinking together with Williams minutes before the latter was discovered lying in a pool blood.
Kaieteur News had also received information that Khatoon and Williams were not the only ones drinking that afternoon. There were two others, according to sources.
This newspaper learnt that during the drinking session, an argument erupted between Williams and the suspect. Williams reportedly tossed a bicycle at the suspect and was about to follow-up with a punch.
The suspect, however, retaliated by pulling out a knife and stabbing Williams.
Williams’ aunt, Susan Williams, told Kaieteur News that her nephew became acquainted with the suspect some four years ago.
She said that Williams is originally from Moruca, Region One and had moved to Region Three in search of a better life.
Due to his social character, she said, he became friends with “Grasie” and had even worked with him out at sea for some time. Despite working with other folks, Williams’ aunt said that he never broke off his friendship with the suspect.
