The suspect who surrendered to the police yesterday has admitted to stabbing Eric Fraser, called ‘50 Cent’, a 42-year-old construction worker of Haslington North, East Coast Demerara, on Thursday.
He was identified by police as Terrence Sam known as ‘Poke Eye’, a 51-year-old security guard of Haslington, who turned himself in to the Brickdam police station. He was then taken to Cove and John police station and while being interviewed, confessed to the act under caution, the police said. He was subsequently placed into custody.
Investigations revealed that Fraser and Sam were liming at Mogo Barbershop located at Haslington North when an argument erupted between the two over an old grievance, during which Sam knifed Fraser in the groin. Fraser collapsed and was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) where he was pronounced dead.
The body is currently at the hospital mortuary awaiting a post-mortem examination.
