Dead: Peacemaker Quacy LaRose, called “Bloody Eye”
A triangular love affair between two men and a woman turned deadly on Friday, resulting in the deaths of two persons from Corentyne, Berbice.
Dead are 51-year-old Floyd Moore, called “Kinga”, and 34-year-old Quacy LaRose, called “Bloody Eye”, both of Alness Village.
The incident occurred at Alness Village, Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne).
Reports are that the woman at the centre of the issue is a vendor at the Port Mourant Market.
Guyana Times understands that a third person has been injured and is considered as the main suspect. He turned himself over to Police on Saturday morning.
The 32-year-old suspect was at the house at Alness with the woman, when Moore showed up.
Dead: Floyd Moore, called “Kinga”
His sister, Nekesha Stanley, related that following the incident, her brother went to another sister and related that he had just chopped Moore resulting in his death.
She claimed that her brother was in bed with the 32-year-old woman, whom the controversy surrounds, when Moore arrived and a confrontation occurred.
The woman claimed that her brother related that after the confrontation occurred, he attempted to jump on his motorcycle to leave, but Moore, who was armed with a knife and cutlass, attacked him. She claimed that her brother then ran back into the yard and armed himself with a cutlass.
The sister said she was acquainted with the woman, whom her brother visited. She said the lady once had a relationship with a taxi driver called “Guard” and had ended the relationship with him. She claimed that it was “Guard” who sent Moore to the house, but this publication was told that this was not the case. It was Moore, who is allegedly her former stepfather, that she had reportedly shared the relationship with.

The house where the murder occurred on Friday evening
She said both her brother and LaRose were good friends and earlier in the day, they were repairing her brother’s motorcycle.
“My brother said Quacy was right in the yard there downstairs when the scene happened upstairs and my brother left to go to his bike. Quacy was holding Floyd and telling him to ‘cool out, why you violating the man?’ and then is when Floyd juke him with the knife. My brother said when he jumped on the bike all he heard was Quacy saying ‘ah, ah’ and he go down on the ground and Floyd started to run coming towards him.”
Reports are that LaRose was rushed to the Port Mourant Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Moore’s body was removed from the scene hours later.
Meanwhile, the 32-year-old suspect was subsequently taken for medical treatment after surrendering to Police.
Moore’s son, Andre Giddings said he and his father were out on Friday night. He said that when the shop closed, he took his father home and they were in conversation and then his father said that he was going out for a short while.
“I wait and after he did not come back, I leave and go home and by the time I reach Rose Hall Town [4 miles away] I hear the man get chop up and dead,” Giddings told this publication.
Moore’s sister Rhonda said she was able to see her brother’s body at the mortuary and there were two visible wounds.
There was a gaping wound to his head and another across his neck. The woman at the centre of the situation was also taken into custody for questioning.
Investigations are continuing. (G4)
