Bladen Hall man succumbs days after being stabbed at drinking spot

Twenty-one-year-old Krishna Maniram, an audit clerk at National Hardware, and of Lot 190 Bladen Hall, East Coast Demerara (ECD), succumbed days after he was stabbed by a man at a bar at Mon Repos, ECD.

The stabbing incident occurred on Saturday evening.
According to the dead man’s sister Vineta Maniram, her brother left their home on Friday evening with four of his friends and went to the S&S bar at Mon Repos, ECD, where they were imbibing alcohol.
She related that while at the bar her brother’s friend got into a heated argument with another man, and in a bid to represent his friend, her brother got involved.
It was during the row; her brother was stabbed three times about his body with a broken bottle.
“… he was stabbed in his face, his neck, and belly. I heard that he and his friend went into the bar, and his other two friends stayed outside. The man got mad because my brother’s friend was looking at him. It’s like my brother didn’t even know he got stabbed because I hear that after he got stabbed, he run the boy out the bar with a belt and as soon as he bank the turn he drop down,” she told Guyana Times.
She recalled that after her brother was stabbed, she received a call from his friend informing her of what had occurred. She said her brother was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital and was later transported to the infectious Diseases Hospital at Liliendaal, Greater Georgetown.
“When I go to Georgetown Hospital, they tell me that he bleed out, all I see was the nurses putting plaster on the stab them and that was all. He raised up and he talk to me and everything… then they tell me that he have to do the surgery…”.
“They also tell me that he test positive for COVID and Sunday they take he to Liliendaal centre,” she said.
The woman explained that after the stabbing incident, she went to the Police to follow up on the incident, and was told that they are unable to locate the suspect.
“They [the Police] are helping a little bit but they told me that they cannot arrest nobody because they have to know the person name and address and so. They said because they cannot, don’t want to arrest the wrong person. But the only person that can give that information is the person [his friend] that see everything,” she explained.
The woman said her brother’s death came as a surprise to the family since they were planning his engagement and wedding.
“My brother was a very nice person. He was supposed to get engaged to he girlfriend in December and then he was going to get married. All I just begging is for the Police to see what they can do for us and find the person that did this,” she said.
