A post-mortem examination conducted on the body of Kamal Wilson, the Kwebanna villager who was killed on Monday, has determined that he died due to haemorrhage and shock after multiple chop wounds.
The examination was conducted yesterday by Dr Nehaul Singh at the Kumaka District Hospital Mortuary.
The police had said that Wilson, 35, was fatally chopped by the 23-year-old male relative around 7.30 pm, when he went to check his generator, located about 20 feet away from his home. It was then that he noticed the relative approaching him with a cutlass in his hand.
A Guyana Police Force press release stated that the accused unexpectedly dealt Wilson several chops to his head, neck and shoulder, causing him to call out for help.
The release added that Wilson subsequently ran into his home and locked the door behind him, while the accused escaped on foot.
As a result of Wilson’s screams, his father subsequently responded and found the wounded man lying on the floor with several chop wounds and covered in blood.
Wilson was able to inform his father of the attack carried out by the family member. The police said the two men had no prior issues before the attack.
Wilson was hospitalised but later succumbed.
