Miner stabbed to death during fight over “racist remarks”

Laurex Henry, a 27-year-old miner of Imbaimadai, Region Seven, was in the wee hours of Friday stabbed to death at the Kamarang Landing, Upper Mazaruni, Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni).
Based on reports received, Henry had left a bar at about 01:15h in the company of a friend; and on the way to their camp, had reportedly come into contact with the suspect. In their intoxicated state, they made racist remarks about the suspect, which reportedly angered him, and he whipped out a knife and dealt Henry a single stab wound to his abdomen. Henry collapsed, but was picked up and taken to the Kamarang District Hospital, where he succumbed to his injury.
The police have said that, upon inspection of Henry’s body, a single stab wound was seen on the left side abdomen, thus resulting in his intestines protruding.
The suspect has since been arrested, and has confessed to the crime by claiming that he was offended by the victim’s racist comments. Investigations are continuing.
