An electrician died early yesterday morning, two hours after he was stabbed at Yakusari North, Black Bush Polder, Corentyne by his brother to whom he had refused to lend his motorcycle.
Dead is 18-year-old Vishal Sahora called “Daniel” of Lot 85 Yakusari North Black Bush Polder, Corentyne, who sustained a single stab wound to his chest. The incident occurred around 23:00 hrs on Sunday.
Sahora was rushed to the Mibicuri Public Hospital where he succumbed around 1 am yesterday while receiving medical attention.
The suspect, Sahora’s brother, who has been identified as Gopaul Sewsankar, 22, a labourer of the said community was arrested shortly after he fled the scene. The suspected murder weapon, a kitchen knife, has been recovered.
Reports reaching Stabroek News revealed that Sahora, one of his brothers, Samuel Sewsankar, and another individual, whose name was given as Permaul Sookram were imbibing under Sookram’s house when the suspect approached Sahora requesting to borrow his motorcycle.
Sahora refused and the suspect allegedly dealt him a slap after which a scuffle ensued between them; Samuel and Sookram intervened but could not part them.
The suspect then allegedly whipped out a knife he had in his possession and stabbed Sahora, after which he ran away, returned and allegedly kicked Sahora to his abdomen. He was later apprehended by the police.
Sahora was taken to the hospital where he subsequently died.
His body is currently at Ramoo’s Funeral Home awaiting a post-mortem examination which is expected to be conducted soon.
