The suspect in the stabbing at Sophia on Sunday, which left a man hospitalised, is in police custody, while two suspected arsonists, who reportedly torched three houses in retaliation, are still being sought, ‘C’ Division Commander Calvin Brutus says.
Brutus told Stabroek News that the police are in pursuit of two persons who allegedly set the houses on fire although their full names are not yet known, only their aliases.
Alvano Williams, 29, of B Field Sophia, was stabbed and chopped about his body around 8.30am on Sunday at Dennis Street, Sophia. He remained hospitalised up to yesterday afternoon.
Reports are that the incident stemmed from a dispute between Williams and the suspect over a woman.
