Police are investigating an alleged murder committed on Mark Hilliman, a 25-year-old labourer employed at Gafoors Complex at Mc Doom, East Bank Demerara, and of Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara, which occurred at around 22:00 hrs Saturday October 7 between Longden and Croal Streets, Georgetown.
The suspect is an identifiable male (name and address unknown at this time) who was armed with a knife.
Investigations so far revealed that around 21:35 hrs on Saturday evening, the victim’s reputed 28-year-old wife (who is employed at the KFC outlet on Water Street) was on duty when the suspect, who is not known to her, went into the KFC outlet and was interfering with her.
During the said time, the victim (Hilliman) went into the KFC outlet to visit his reputed wife, and after he observed what was happening, he told the suspect to desist from interfering with his wife.
As a result, a heated argument occurred between them. They were both armed with knives. They then left the KFC building, heading East between Longden and Croal Street, and at the time mentioned, the suspect stabbed the victim on his left side chest with the knife that he was armed with. The victim walked a short distance and fell to the ground, while the suspect made good his escape on foot in a southern direction with the knife.
The victim was picked up by public-spirited citizens and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival by Doctor Joseph. The body is presently lying at the GPHC’s Mortuary, awaiting a PME.
Several persons were questioned. CCTV cameras were seen in the area and are being reviewed by investigators. Checks were made to locate the suspect but without success. Investigations continue.
