A man was on Thursday evening stabbed to death during an argument at a popular hangout spot at Haslington, East Coast Demerara (ECD). Dead is Eric Frazer of Haslington North, ECD.
Based on reports received, the now dead man and the suspect who is commonly known as “Pokeye” were among others liming and making jokes. In fact, they were calling each other names.
However, during the rough joke-making, the suspect became annoyed which led to an argument and subsequently a scuffle. It was during the altercation, the suspect whipped out a knife and stabbed Frazer.
As a result, Frazer, who had recently returned from Cayenne, French Guiana, collapsed to the ground. He was picked up and rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he succumbed while receiving medical attention. The suspect was arrested and he is assisting with the investigations.
