A man of Amerindian descent, known only as ‘Sunny’ was stabbed to death following an argument with a Venezuelan woman at Kumung Kumung Backdam, Puruni River, Region 7.
A 23-year-old woman has confessed to the killing. Police say the incident occurred between August 17th and 18th.
Investigations have thus far revealed that around 11 pm on Thursday, ‘Sunny’ (age, address, and other particulars unknown) was in the company of two female Venezuelan nationals and others imbibing at a shop when he approached one of the females and requested a dance. The Venezuelan woman declined his advances but ‘Sunny’ held on to her. She pushed him off, and an argument ensued between the two. According to eyewitnesses, the female broke two bottles and threatened `Sunny’. Persons at the shop attempted to calm the situation, but Sunny began to behave disorderly and assaulted two of the men trying to subdue him. The two men, in turn, dealt ‘Sunny’ several cuffs and lashes about his body.
