(Kaieteur News) – Twenty-nine-year-old Herbert Hartman was chopped to death at his Tuschen New Scheme, East Bank Essequibo residence, following an argument with a fellow worker at a worksite in Tuschen.

According to the police, the deceased and the suspect, a 23-year-old construction worker of Tuschen Housing Scheme, are known to each other.
