Police have arrested the suspect in a 2016 murder which took place on the Corentyne, Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne).
Surendra Nauth, 29, of Albion, Corentyne, was killed during the incident. He was fatally stabbed on January 17, 2016, during a wedding house brawl. The incident occurred in Williamsburg, Corentyne, and involved an argument with a man who had allegedly slashed the tyres of his car. Nauth was stabbed in the abdomen and later died at the New Amsterdam Hospital. His brother-in-law, Totaram Bhola, was also injured in the attack.
At the time of the stabbing, the suspect, known as “Shandy”, had just been released from prison after serving time on a wounding charge.
The incident reportedly occurred around 00:10h at a wedding house when Nauth and his brother-in-law were involved in an argument at Williamsburg, Corentyne, with a man who had allegedly slashed a tyre of their motor vehicle. It is understood that an argument ensued, and the suspect attacked the men with a knife, stabbing Nauth in the abdomen and inflicting a wound to the forehead of Bhola. Following the incident, both Nauth and Bhola were rushed to the New Amsterdam Hospital, where Nauth later succumbed to his injuries.
Police, in a statement, had said they had identified the suspect, who was popularly known as ‘Shandy’. They were on the hunt for him. In 2016, it was believed that the man fled the jurisdiction and was in neighbouring Suriname. However, law enforcement officers on Monday were informed that the suspect was at a house at Stanleytown, and they went there and arrested him. He is expected to be charged with murder shortly.
