Anna Catherina fisherman died from perforated heart, lung – autopsy

An autopsy performed on the remains of fisherman Munaf Azeez, who was stabbed to death on Monday, has given the cause of his death as perforation of the heart and lung due to a stab wound.
The Post Mortem Examination was performed on Wednesday by Government Pathologist Dr Nehaul Singh at the Ezekiel Funeral Home at Best Village, West Coast Demerara (WCD).

The body was subsequently handed over to relatives for funeral arrangements to be made.
Initial reports are that five persons have been taken into custody for the murder of the 26-year-old man of Sea View, Anna Catherina, West Coast Demerara. Authorities have said they were alerted to the crime at around 8:00h on Monday, and their swift response led to the capture of the suspects.
It was reported that the men had accused Azeez of chopping up their fishing net, and this had led to a heated argument. In the blink of an eye, one of the men pulled out a sharp blade and plunged it deep into Azeez’s chest, leaving him gasping for air as he fell to the ground.
The attackers had scattered in different directions, but Police patrolling the area caught one of the suspects as he attempted to flee the scene in his car. This led to the apprehension of the others.
The young victim’s family was also alerted, and they rushed to the scene to pick him up. However, it was too late, and Azeez was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital. The body bore the telltale signs of a violent struggle, with a deep wound to the chest and two small cuts to his arm. His body was taken to the Ezekiel Funeral Home to await a post-mortem.
Irate residents reportedly took matters into their own hands and set alight the suspect’s car, which was subsequently thrown into a nearby gutter.
