Murdered minibus conductor was robbed on dying bed – family

The news of the death of 30-year-old Morven Nurse, who was fatally stabbed on Wednesday by a fellow conductor during an argument over $120, shook those who knew him.

The father of two lost his life at the Route 44 Bus Park, Commerce Street, Georgetown.
Police stated that Nurse and the suspect were at the bus park when an argument broke out between them, during which they began to pelt each other with empty glass bottles and pieces of brick. As the confrontation escalated, the suspect whipped out a knife and stabbed Nurse to his chest.
Nurse ran a short distance away before falling to the ground, while the suspect escaped in a minibus. The injured man attempted to get up, but again collapsed to the ground. He was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he died while undergoing surgery.
Following the incident, the Police issued a wanted bulletin for the suspect, who had been identified as 27-year-old Paul Junior Lynch. The suspect subsequently turned up at the station in the company of his Attorney.
On Thursday, Guyana Times spoke with the dead man’s sister, Minerva Kingston, who said that her brother was robbed of his jewellery while receiving emergency medical care at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
“When they did taking he to the hospital, he had his chains them on he, but the person that take him there apparently like they take all he chains and they only leaving he with he boots and $1500 and a bottle of perfume,” she said.
“The nurse at the hospital said two persons come and say that them is he cousin from Berbice and they collect he chain them, and we don’t have no family or relative up Berbice,” Kingston explained during a phone interview.
The dead man’s sister also recalled the moment she heard the dreaded news.
“I wasn’t around, but according to the information I get, they were arguing over something and they had a little scuffling and it escalated to what take place yesterday. I heard around 11 something when I was dressing to go to town and I got a call and heard he got stabbed,” the sister related.
She further said that she was informed by a friend that the suspect had been planning to kill her brother all along. Kingston highlighted that her brother had so many plans – one of which was to own his own home and minibus.
Kingston hopes the suspect face the full brunt of the law for his actions and as such, calls for swift justice.
