Home News Man died from haemorrhage, shock – PME
Belle West stabbing
A post-mortem examination carried out on the body of 64-year-old Omkar Kishundyal, a vendor of Canal Number Two Polder, West Bank Demerara, revealed that he died from haemorrhage and shock due to an incised wound to the forearm.
The body was positively identified by the deceased’s daughter and son-in-law.
The autopsy was conducted on Monday by State Pathologist, Dr Nehaul Singh, at the Ezekiel Funeral Home, Vreed-en-Hoop, West Coast Demerara.
The incident that led to Kishundyal’s death occurred at around 17:45h on Sunday at Belle West, WBD.
Police said at around 14:30h, an intoxicated Kishundyal went to the suspect’s home.
He was armed with a hammer, and began to behave disorderly and threatened to kill the man and his family.
Police said the dispute stemmed from some works which the suspect’s father was supposed to execute at the victim’s house.
Police said Kishundyal began to lash the suspect with the hammer.
The suspect then armed himself with a cutlass, as Kishundyal continued to attack him.
The suspect alleged that he raised the cutlass to bar the hammer and during that time, the vendor sustained a cut to his right hand.
Kishundyal then retreated from the suspect’s premises before collapsing some six hundred feet away.
He was rushed to the West Demerara Regional Hospital where he was examined and later died.
The suspect was arrested pending his court appearance.
