Zeelugt man hospitalised after being stabbed by relative

A Zeelugt man is currently a patient at the West Demerara Regional Hospital (WDRH) after he was stabbed in his chest by a relative on Tuesday following an argument over money he gave her to buy “chaser” as they were consuming alcohol.

The injured man is twenty-seven-year-old Ricardo Mahadeo of Silk Cotton Dam, Zeelugt, East Bank Essequibo.

Police enquiries revealed that Mahadeo left his home about 12pm for his aunt’s residence at Vergenoegen, East Bank Essequibo, where he met his sister, her boyfriend, and two cousins.
