Construction worker beaten to death at birthday party

A construction worker has reportedly been beaten to death early on Thursday morning, after being attacked by a group of persons at Speightland village, Lower Kara Kara in Linden, Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Berbice).
Dead is 40-year-old Kevin Surfin who, according to the information received, had attended a birthday party in the area, and was in the company of a 29-year-old woman with whom he had shared a relationship.
According to that woman, at about 05:00h on Thursday, she left Surfin standing with several of her friends and went to purchase cigarettes at the bar. Upon her return about five minutes later, she observed a group of about 15 persons, three of whom were identifiable, assaulting Surfin.
During the altercation, Surfin managed to jump into a nearby creek to avoid his assailants. He eventually came out of the creek with what appeared to be blood about his body, and then fell to the ground. He was picked up and taken to the Linden Hospital Complex, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
An examination of his body revealed a small wound to the region of his heart and a bruise above his left eye.
The body is presently at the Pension Funeral Home, awaiting a post-mortem examination. The Police are continuing their investigation.
Several persons were arrested, and are being interrogated.
