A Venezuelan was in the wee hours of Saturday stabbed to death by his Guyanese drinking buddy during an argument at Eteringbang Landing, Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni). The dead man has been identified as Henry Mendonca. 
Based on information, the dead man and his Guyanese friend who both reside in Venezuela, crossed the border and were consuming alcohol at a popular drinking spot at Eteringbang Landing when a misunderstanding led to a deathly argument.
It was during the argument that the drunken Guyanese broke a bottle and stabbed Mendonca twice to his abdomen. The injured man was taken to the San Martin Hospital in Venezuela where he was pronounced dead.
The suspect was arrested and is expected to be charged shortly.
