‘Redman’ cut down by relative during yard brawl in Mahaica

Nov 26, 2025 News

(Kaieteur News) – A 36-year-old man was chopped to death on Monday during a dispute with a relative at Supply, Mahaica, East Coast Demerara.

The dead man has been identified as Ray Sheoraj, called “Redman,” of Supply, Mahaica. The incident occurred around 23:00 hrs.

According to a police report issued on Tuesday, Sheoraj was at home in the company of several individuals when an argument erupted between him and a male relative who also resides at the address. During the altercation, the 62-year-old suspect allegedly chopped Sheoraj on his left leg with a sharp object. The suspect fled the scene shortly afterward.

“Sheoraj attempted to secure the wound but he later collapsed in the upper flat of the home,” police said

He was subsequently taken to the Enmore Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. Police said a cutlass and a chopper, both suspected to have been used in the attack, were recovered at the scene and have been secured as evidence.

A 29-year-old housewife of Supply, Mahaica, also sustained injuries and is currently receiving medical treatment. Meanwhile, other relatives present at the time, a 45-year-old resident of Belmont, Mahaica, and a 38-year-old of Supply, Mahaica, have been detained and remain in police custody.

The body has been taken to the Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, where a post-mortem examination is expected to be conducted.

Investigations are ongoing.
