Joseph Forde

Police from Regional 4 ‘C’ Division have arrested two suspects in relation to the murder of Joseph Forde. 

Forde called ‘Who U’, a 44-year-old construction worker of Lot 38 Middle Street, Sparendaam, East Coast Demerara, was chopped to death on Thursday between 21.30 and 21.45 hours at Victoria Road, East Coast Demerara, by a man known as ‘Fatta’ and ‘Kevin’. 

Investigations revealed that on Tuesday, April 30, at about 21.20 hours, Forde had intervened in a chopping incident between the suspect and a man of Prince William Street, Plaisance, East Coast Demerara, which resulted in an argument between Forde and the suspect, which was eventually resolved.
