Duo being questioned for murder of handyman

Two persons are currently being interrogated in connection with the murder of 45-year-old Wafad Wahab, a handyman also known as ‘Ricky’, who was reportedly attacked on Monday evening in the vicinity of Strikey’s Bar along New Road, Vreed-en-Hoop, West Coast Demerara (WCD).
The man was allegedly attacked and beaten by three males, and later succumbed to his injuries at the West Demerara Regional Hospital (WDRH).
Police have reported that Wahab was under the influence of alcohol when he visited his aunt in Vreed-en-Hoop on Saturday evening, but was urged to return home due to his drunken state. However, later that evening, the Police received a report that an injured man was lying on the street in Vreed-en-Hoop, and upon arriving at the scene, they observed the mancovered in blood. At the time, a Samsung cell phone and $1040 in cash were found in Wahab’s pocket.
He was picked up and taken to the hospital, where he died while receiving treatment. An eyewitness subsequently told Police that Wahab was attacked and beaten by three men, who fled the scene on bicycles.
Two men who are in custody are assisting Police with their investigations into Wahab’s death.
