1 arrested, another on the run for murder of Port Kaituma miner

The Police have arrested one man and are looking for a second in connection with the beating to death of a miner at Aranguy Backdam, Cuyuni River, Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni) on Tuesday.
The dead man, David James, is reportedly from Port Kaituma, Region One (Barima-Waini).
Based on information received, on the day in question around 18:30h, James and another employee were imbibing at their worksite when an argument ensued between them.
During the quarrel, the other employee left, but returned shortly after with a friend who attacked James, punching him several times to the face and body.
This resulted in James falling to the ground motionless. Ranks were summoned to the scene where James was found dead in a hammock.
Regional Police Commander, Senior Superintendent Linden Lord told Guyana Times that a five-man team was presently on the hunt for the suspect, adding that there were stringent measures in place to ensure that the perpetrator was apprehended and prosecuted.
