NWD man chopped to death by cousin

…4 murders recorded in 2 days

A Kwebanna, North West District (NWD) youth reportedly went berserk on Monday evening and chopped one of his cousins to death. Dead in 35-year-old Kamal Wilson of Kwebanna, Region One (Barima-Waini).

Based on reports received, on the day in question at about 19:30h, the now dead man went to check his generator which was located at the back of the yard – some 20 feet away.
Whilst doing so, Wilson observed the suspect walking towards him armed with a cutlass. Without any conversation, the suspect dealt several chops to Wilson’s head, neck and shoulder.
In the height of the ordeal, the now dead man began to scream for assistance and managed to run into his house and lock the door. By this time, the suspect made good his escape.
Shortly after, the deceased’s father reportedly went to check on his son since he would have heard his cries. As he arrived at his son’s home, he saw the injured man lying on the floor in a pool of blood. He was picked up and taken to the Kumaka District Hospital but on his way, he related to his father what had transpired.

Wilson was treated and admitted a patient in a serious condition. He nevertheless, would have succumbed a few hours later. A report was made to the Acquero Police Station which led to the arrest of the suspect, who remains in custody as investigations continue.
Guyana Times was told that Wilson and the suspect had no previous misunderstanding thus leaving relatives and members of the community in shock. The police are yet to recover the murder weapon. Wilson’s body was taken to the Kumaka District Hospital Mortuary awaiting a post-mortem.
Meanwhile, sister of the murder accused, when contacted, explained that after her father’s death due to COVID-19, her brother was in distress. She noted that while she could not defend his actions, she is calling on the police to conduct a psychiatric evaluation.
“Only recently, he started to talk some crazy stuff… He told me that he saw angels dancing around him…snakes running him and so on…I think after dad passed and my mom was placed in quarantine, that has severely had an impact on him,” the sister noted.
She further stated that she was not at the scene and as such could not say what really transpired. “All I can say is whatever Samuel did, he did not do it in his right senses…he did not do it willfully.”

The sister also stated that her now dead cousin was a quiet individual and would not get into a fight. “He is someone who would walk away, if an issue arises,” the woman stated.
Over the past weekend, three persons were murdered. On Sunday evening, 85-year-old Bibi Nasmonisha Ramjit of Old Road, La Grange, WBD, was found gagged and murdered in her home.
The woman’s house was reportedly ransacked, thus leaving investigators to work with the theory that the woman was killed during the commissioning of a robbery. The elderly woman lived alone. No arrests were made.
Also on Sunday, the lifeless body of 33-year-old Allensford Consford Sargon, a miner, was found outside a popular drinking spot at Quartz Stone Landing, Cuyuni River, Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni).
Two incise wounds were found on his head and throat. Then, 19-year-old Sanjay Hanoman, a construction worker of Fourth Street, Anna Catherina, West Coast Demerara (WCD), bled to death after he was chopped.
It was reported that Hanoman and the suspect were standing at Bus Shed Street, Anna Catherina, when the suspect – who was armed with a cutlass – chopped the construction worker to his leg and rode away on a bicycle. The suspect, a 19-year-old, was subsequently arrested.
