Goed Fortuin man fatally stabbed after birthday party altercation

Carrington Daniels, father of 40-year-old construction worker Gladwin Daniels, who was fatally stabbed by two suspects early Monday morning, said his son was not someone known for getting into conflicts with others, and as such left him searching for answers as to what could have sparked the deadly altercation.
Speaking with Guyana Times on Monday afternoon, Carrington said that to the best of his knowledge his son did not have any ongoing issues or dispute with anyone, however he acknowledged that his son drank frequently.

“The most he did was drink. If he didn’t drink, DDL and D’Augair would close down. All of us drink, we don’t hide that we does drink,” Carrington said as he fondly remembered his son, Carrington was at the time surrounded by three of his remaining five sons, at his Lot 31 Goed Fortuin (public road), West Bank Demerara (WBD) where his son Gladwin used to live.
According to Carrington it was at approximately 01:30h on Monday that a family member reached out to him and told him that they heard that his son, who is popularly known as “Taliban” had been stabbed. He asked the family member to go to the scene of the incident to confirm if the news was true. Moments later Carrington received confirmation of Gladwin’s demise.
According to Carrington the news of losing his eldest child was more than he could take and he fainted.
