A Buxton labourer was murdered on Sunday night following a confrontation with a relative, who injured his mother as she attempted to part a fight.
The deceased has been identified as Daniel Akeem Amore, 18, of Section 20 ‘A’, Friendship, Buxton, East Coast Demerara.
According to the police, on Sunday night, two brothers, Haslyn Williams and James Dublin were consuming alcohol when an argument ensued between them that escalated into a fight. However, Dublin’s wife, Melissa Garraway, who was present, managed to part the fight.
At the said time, police said, the suspect entered the yard and had a confrontation with Dublin. He subsequently, exited the yard and returned with a cutlass and knife and broad-sided Dublin several times.
Garraway again intervened in an attempt to stop the fight but was wounded by the suspect on her left hand, causing injuries to her fingers.
It was at this point, her son, the deceased, confronted the suspect. During the confrontation, the suspect dropped the cutlass and fled the scene. He was pursued by the now-deceased man and apprehended, however, during that process he was stabbed in the centre of his chest. The suspect immediately escaped and has since been on the run.
Amore was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
