A West Coast Berbice contractor died after he was chopped during a robbery on Friday night in the North Rupununi Village of Rupertee.
The Police have not yet released any information surrounding the incident and several calls to Region Nine (Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo) Commander Raphael Rose were unsuccessful.
Rupertee is one of the five Macushi Amerindian communities that comprise the Annai area and Toshao Michael Williams told the Sunday Stabroek that the dead man has been identified as Matthew (only name given).
