Man wanted for fatal stabbing of chainsaw operator

Police have launched a manhunt for 26-year-old Dinesh Samroo, whom they are seeking in connection with the fatal stabbing of chainsaw operator Rayandra Abrams, aka “Bruce”, following a heated argument in the Region Two community of Mashabo Housing Scheme on Monday at about 13:30h.
Abrams was reportedly stabbed after an altercation with Samroo that stemmed from an alleged unpaid debt of $15,000. According to eyewitnesses, the confrontation escalated when Samroo, armed with a black-handle knife, threatened Abrams on an access road within the housing scheme.
A relative of the victim, a 25-year-old barber who witnessed the incident, told police he had seen the two men arguing and had advised his cousin to walk away, but Abrams had allegedly refused to leave.

The barber told police that, moments later, he had heard his cousin call out for help; and, turning back, he had seen Abrams clutching his bleeding neck as Samroo fled the scene on a motorcycle, heading south.
Abrams had collapsed from his injuries, and despite assistance from his cousin and the prompt arrival of a doctor from the Suddie Public Hospital, had been pronounced dead at the scene. His body had subsequently been transported to the Suddie Hospital’s mortuary.
Police have since issued a wanted bulletin for Samroo, whose last known address is High Hill, Mashabo, Essequibo Coast. Also a chainsaw operator, Samroo remains at large, and the police are urging anyone with information on his whereabouts to contact them on the following telephone numbers: 227-1149, 225-8196, 227-1611, 268-2328, 268-2329, 226-3405, 225-6978, 333-3876, or 225-8196, or at the nearest police station.
Abrams’s mother, Sonia Abrams, has informed investigators that a dispute had been ongoing between her son and the suspect over the unpaid debt. Police are continuing their investigations as they search for Samroo. (G9)
