Linden man stabbed to death over old grievance

A 59-year-old labourer who was stabbed during an altercation at Mackenzie Market, Linden, on Thursday afternoon, has died while receiving medical treatment. Dead is Ray London of South Amelia’s Ward, Linden.
According to Police reports, the incident occurred at about 17:00h at the Mackenzie Market area and involved London and a 41-year-old carpenter of Wismar, Linden. The two men were reportedly known to each other and had previous disagreements.

It is alleged that during the confrontation, the suspect armed himself with a knife and stabbed London to the left side of his lower abdomen.
The injured man was taken to the Linden Hospital Complex, where he received medical attention. However, due to the severity of his injuries, he was later transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation.
London subsequently succumbed to his injuries while receiving treatment at the medical facility at about 05:33h on Friday. His body has since been taken to the Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, where it is awaiting a post-mortem examination.
The suspect has since been arrested and remains in Police custody, assisting with investigations.
