A 19-year-old man was stabbed to death this morning at his Lot 619 ‘A’ Field, Sophia home and his brother is in custody.
Dead is Shurwayne Kennedy who suffered a single stab wound to the left side of his chest allegedly at the hands of his 17-year-old brother.
When Stabroek News visited the home, the boys’ grandmother said that an argument ensued between the two after the younger sibling asked to borrow Shurwayne’s clothing.
She said the 17-year-old picked up a kitchen knife and threw it towards Shurwayne who then staggered through the door and fell at the bridge leading out to the dam.
His mother, Joan Kennedy, rushed him to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he subsequently died.
The brother is in police custody.
