A labourer was on Thursday morning stabbed to death not far from his home.
Thirty-two-year-old Israel Mc Kenzie of Lot 74 Middle Road, La Penitence was killed at Second Street and Middle Road La Penitence just around 3.30 am. Initial investigations by the police revealed that the man was seen staggering at the said location when he was attacked by two men. McKenzie’s body which was left at the scene was seen with injuries to the left ear, lacerations to the neck and left arm along with what appeared to be stab wounds to his chest.
McKenzie’s body was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. The police in a press release noted that the body was awaiting a post-mortem examination.
When contacted yesterday, Regional Divisional Commander 4 (A), Edgar Thomas, told Stabroek News that no arrests have been made, however the police have a fair idea of what occurred. While the commander could not reveal much more, he stated that the police have “good intelligence” and it was just a matter of time before the suspects are apprehended.
