Police are investigating the murder of a man by his son on the island of Wakenaam, Essequibo.
In a press release police said initial reports are that the man and his son had left for the backdam but the son returned, claiming of feeling unwell.
When asked the whereabouts of his father, he claimed that he left his father in the backdam, the police reported. However, checks for the father so far have led to the discovery of his pants and a cell phone.
The 26-year-old son then traveled to Troolie Island where villagers further questioned him and he confessed to chopping his father several times and leaving him to die after they had an argument.
The villagers have apprehended him and are awaiting police who are en route to the said location.
This is a developing story.
