Police hunting suspect in murder of De Kinderen man
Ranks of the Guyana Police Force are now pursuing a man in relation to the murder of 34-year-old Lindsford Kenwayne Duguid, who was brutally stabbed and chopped to death at De Kinderen Housing Scheme, West Coast Demerara (WCD).
In an initial report, Police had said the murder was committed by three known suspects whom they were, up to late Sunday evening, hunting. The suspect currently being sought is a 25-year-old man of De Kinderen, WCD.
Duguid was killed at about 22:00h on Saturday. According to reports, Duguid had allegedly visited the De Kinderen location and asked for a 22-year-old female Venezuelan national. Police said the man was informed by the owner of the property that the woman was not at home.
However, the landlord told investigators that hours later he heard a loud scream, at about 03:30h on Sunday, and upon checking, he saw Duguid pulling the 22-year-old female by her hair while one of the suspects (another female Venezuelan national) held on to Duguid’s waist from the back.
The landlord then rushed to the area and saw Duguid and two of the suspects fighting in a drain. He further stated that he saw one of the suspects with a knife in her hand stabbing at the now dead man’s leg, while a male Venezuelan national was seen holding the deceased around his neck.
Sometime later, the third suspect appeared with a cutlass in his hand, and began to chop Duguid about his body. One of the suspects was heard asking for a rope, which was used to tie Duguid’s legs.
The Police were contacted, and arrived at the scene, but the suspects had already escaped. (G9)
