A Lyng Street, Charlestown vendor was fatally stabbed on Sunday by his neighbour, who wrongfully accused him of posting an intimate video of him (the suspect) and his girlfriend on social media.
Dead is 48-year-old Carl Cameron, called ‘Rasta Man,’ of Lot 33 Lyng Street, Charlestown, who police say was stabbed five times by Kevin Hendricks, 30, who is now wanted.
According to a Guyana Police Force statement, a week prior to the stabbing, Cameron and Hendricks had an issue over a video that surfaced on social media. It was claimed by Hendricks that Cameron posted a video of him and his girlfriend being intimate. Following this claim, on Sunday at about 6 pm, Hendricks armed himself with an icepick, which he allegedly used to stab the man three times in his chest and two times in his back.
