1 dead, 1 hospitalised as “junkies” fight over female

One man is now dead and another is in a critical condition at the New Amsterdam Hospital after two men were involved in stabbing each other.
Both men are said to be “junkies” (substance abusers who have no fixed place of abode).
The dead man has been identified as only “Fineman”. He received one stab wound in the vicinity of the heart while the suspect, a 44-year-old resident of Rose Hall Town, is currently hospitalised with two stab wounds.
The incident occurred at May Cock Street, Rose Hall Town, Corentyne, Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne), on Thursday evening.
Reports are that the suspect, called “Anto”, saw his living mate speaking with “Fineman” and an argument ensued between the suspect and the deceased over a female.
During this, “Anto” reportedly became furious and approached “Fineman”, withdrew a blue-handled knife from the waist of his pants and dealt the man one stab to his chest.
“Fineman” made a few steps before collapsing.
“Anto” reportedly left the scene, saying he was going to make a report at the Police station.
In the meanwhile, the lifeless body of “Fineman” was escorted to the Port Mourant Public Hospital by the Police and was pronounced dead on arrival.
Sometime after, “Anto” was taken to the same hospital with two stab wounds – one to his neck and one to his abdomen.
He was admitted and indicated that he was first stabbed by “Fineman” and acted in self-defence.
“Anto” was subsequently transferred to the New Amsterdam Public Hospital, where he is a patient currently under Police guard. Investigations are ongoing. (G4)
