…female companion on the run
A 40-year-old boat operator from Mongrippa Hill, Bartica, Ryan Fredericks, was fatally attacked on Thursday night at the Safari Inn Hotel, located at Friendship, East Bank Demerara.
Reports indicate that Fredericks was allegedly killed by a female suspect, whose identity remains unknown. He had reportedly rented a room at the hotel with the woman prior to the incident.

Earlier in the day, Fredericks had hired Navindra Kanhai, also a boat operator from 2nd Avenue, Bartica, to take him to Parika. Around 17:45h, they arrived at Parika and met the female suspect waiting in a black motorcar. Both Fredericks and Kanhai joined the woman in the vehicle and later went to the Safari Inn Hotel, where two rooms were booked. Fredericks went into a room with the female suspect while Kanhai stayed in the other room.
According to Kanhai, between 11:00h and 23:30h, he was awakened by knocking on his door. He found Fredericks bleeding from a wound to his left arm, reportedly stating that he had been robbed and chopped.
The incident was immediately reported to the Police, and the ambulance service was summoned. Emergency Medical Technicians pronounced Fredericks dead at the scene at approximately 12:55h.
Crime scene investigators observed a deep wound on the inner side of Fredericks’ left upper arm. His body was transported to Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, where it awaits a post-mortem examination.
Kanhai has been taken into custody and is assisting with the ongoing investigation. Police continue to search for the female suspect and the black motorcar linked to the attack.
