Labourer stabbed to death during WCD worksite dispute

A 30-year-old labourer was on Friday morning fatally stabbed during an altercation at a construction site along the Meten-Meer-Zorg Public Road, West Coast Demerara.
Dead is Fendel Trotman, also known as “Johnny” or “Rasta Man,” of Anna Catherina, West Coast Demerara.
Reports are that the incident occurred at about 10:00h on Saturday, while Trotman was reportedly working as a mason at a two-storey concrete structure in the area.
According to reports, an argument erupted between Trotman and another male at the worksite. The confrontation reportedly escalated into a scuffle during which the other man, who was armed with a knife, allegedly stabbed Trotman to the chest before fleeing the scene on foot.
Persons nearby went to the injured man’s assistance and transported him to the De Kinderen Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival by medical personnel.
A knife sheath was discovered inside the building where the incident occurred. Investigators are also expected to review footage from CCTV cameras located in the vicinity as efforts continue to identify and locate the suspect.
Trotman’s body has since been taken to the Ezekiel Funeral Parlour, where it awaits a post-mortem examination.
