More than a month after a suspect was charged with the murder of Kyle Chase, the South Ruimveldt resident who was stabbed to death late last year during an altercation with his girlfriend’s former partner, the police yesterday issued a wanted bulletin for a second man.
The wanted bulletin was issued for Steven Archibald, 18, whose last known address was given as Lot 136 Victoria Street, Albouystown, Georgetown. Police said he is wanted for questioning in connection with the murder of Chase, which occurred on December 30th, 2019, at Guyhoc Park, Georgetown.
Chase, 23, a resident of Lot 1075 Macaw Lane, South Ruimveldt, was stabbed to death by his girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend during an altercation at her home.
The stabbing occurred at 9.45 pm at Mazaruni Street, Guyhoc Park, where Chase and his cousin were at the home of his girlfriend playing cards.
Nigel Thomas, 22, of Albouystown, a Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) employee who is said to be the ex-boyfriend of Chase’s girlfriend, has since been charged with the murder.
Police had said that Chase and his cousin were playing cards at the residence when two other men, including Thomas, visited the house.
Thomas reportedly became enraged upon seeing Chase at the residence.
As a result, an argument ensued, which led to a scuffle between Chase and Thomas, who allegedly stabbed him several times with a screw driver.
The altercation was reported at the East Ruimveldt Police Outpost and Thomas was arrested the next day.
Thomas was also injured after he was hit with a beer bottle during the altercation and he was admitted as a patient under police guard at the Georgetown Public Hospital until he was released into the custody of law enforcers and subsequently charged with the capital offence. The deceased’s cousin also sustained injuries but was treated and discharged.
Anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of Archibald is asked to contact the police on telephone numbers, 226-6978, 225-8196, 226-2870, 226-7065, 227-1149, 226-7065, 911, or the nearest police station.
