A 25-year-old labourer was killed during an altercation over a motorcycle on Sunday evening.
Trevoltor Mangal was stabbed to death by three men at around 19:00h on Park Street, Enterprise, East Coast Demerara (ECD)
According to police, Mangal’s mother, Nalanie Chand, a 61-year-old housewife of Gandhi Street, Enterprise, told investigators that her son had left home at about 17:00h wearing a cream-colored jersey and short brown pants. Approximately 90 minutes later, Mangal entered a bar on Park Street where he purchased a beer and sat outside.
Dead: Trevoltor Mangal
Witnesses report that shortly after Mangal’s arrival, three men, known frequent customers of the bar, began a game of pool. An argument reportedly ensued between Mangal and one of the men over a motorcycle. Mangal reportedly left the bar, and the three men followed him.
Residents standing in front of PlayLand Restaurant in Enterprise told police that they observed the three men chasing Mangal from the southern direction. A scuffle ensued, but Mangal managed to break free and ran east through Forbes Street towards the bar, with the men in pursuit. Mangal then stood in front of the bar and called out to the bartender before collapsing.
The suspects fled the scene upon seeing Mangal collapse. A police mobile anti-crime patrol arrived shortly after and transported Mangal, who was unconscious, to the Georgetown Public Hospital. Upon examination, a single stab wound to the chest was discovered. Mangal was pronounced dead on arrival by the attending doctor.
The body is currently at the GPHC awaiting a post-mortem examination. Investigations are ongoing as several individuals have been questioned, leading to the identification of the suspects. However, the suspects are yet to be apprehended. (G9)
