Police are investigating an alleged murder committed on Seeram Krishna, called ‘Vicky’, a 35-year-old Fisherman of Lot 24 ‘A’ Conservancy Dam, Canal #1, West Bank Demerara. Enquiries disclosed that the now-deceased man and the suspect are cousins, and are also neighbours.
They were drinking rum together along with the suspect father, when the suspect started to insult his father.
The suspect and the victim ended up in a heated argument when he ran to his home when he returned with a cutlass, and dealt him one chop to his left-side face causing him to fall to the ground. His body was escorted to Ezekiel Funeral Parlour, awaiting a post-mortem examination.
The suspect a 19 year old, who went into hiding, subsequently surrendered to the Police. He remains in custody, assisting with the ongoing investigations.
