…wanted bulletin issued for suspect

A 48-year-old man was on Sunday evening stabbed to death after he allegedly shared a photo on social media of the suspect and his girlfriend being intimate together.
Dead is Carl Cameron, a vendor, of Lyng Street, Charlestown, Georgetown
Reports are that about a week ago, the suspect and the victim got into a spat over the alleged sharing of the photo.
However, at about 18:00h on Sunday night, Cameron was in the front of his yard selling confectioneries, when the 30-year-old suspect approached him with an ice pick and stabbed him five times.

He received three stabs to his chest and two to his back.
Cameron was picked up and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The suspect then made good his escape and remains at large.
On Monday, Cameron’s reputed wife Samantha Castello told Guyana Times that her husband was not stabbed over the sharing of a photo. The woman noted that the issue was nothing but a misunderstanding.
She explained that on October 16, the suspect’s family had a party which Cameron attended, and was using his phone to video the party.
The following day, she said one of the suspect’s relative asked Cameron if he had “the video.”
Castello alleged that later that day, the suspect told her, “The same cartoon movie y’all looking and laughing, it gone turn a horror movie”.
Castello said she subsequently spoke with one of the suspect’s relatives who explained that the suspect believed there was an intimate video of him and his girlfriend circulating on social media. According to the woman, she thought the misunderstanding was resolved.
“So, is like he take a week to think of what he had to do, to do it yesterday (Sunday),” Castello expressed.
The dead man’s wife recalled that on the day of the incident, she heard a commotion in the yard but by the time she reached to her husband’s aid, he was already on the ground in a pool of blood.

“I was on the verandah… ‘wah I do you boy, wah I do you’… that’s all I hear and I rushed downstairs and I saw my two daughters with him [Cameron]. When I go to him… he was lying at the front like fuh catch the road, and he said to me “Shorty…that boy jook me up bad girl,” she explained.
Cameron was immediately escorted by his daughter to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation where he succumbed to his injuries while receiving medical attention.
The woman stated that she and Cameron were together for some 19 years and she needs justice.
“That’s a great loss for me…he is not a fighty person. He always home, he looks out for everybody…every afternoon he and the boys them would sit out there, would drink but not to an extent to get drunk or into any story,” she recalled.
“I want justice, me and the family (of the suspect) doesn’t have any problem or anything…he’s not a dog for him (the suspect) to take his life like that,” the reputed wife cried.
Cameron had no biological children but shared a home with his reputed wife and two stepdaughters, as well as a son-in-law.
