A labourer was yesterday afternoon stabbed to death at Bagots-town, East Bank Demerara (EBD), following an argument with another man over water.
Mark Ifill, called ‘Yankee,’ 42, of Bagotstown, reportedly died on the spot where he was allegedly attacked at Water Street, by Sheldon Bowen, 41, called ‘Muslim,’ who is now in police custody.
Stabroek News was told that at around 11 am yesterday, Ifill got into an argument with Bowen, who told him to stop filling water from his pipe. Ifill reportedly ignored the command and as a result an argument ensued between the two men and it ended in the fatal stabbing.
