Ruimveldt man stabbed to death over derogatory name-calling

Fifty-two-year-old Shawn George of Vlissengen Square, East Ruimveldt, Georgetown was on Wednesday evening stabbed to death during an altercation which stemmed from a derogatory name-calling incident.

Police stated that the murder was committed by a 34-year-old resident of West Ruimveldt in front of a Grocery shop at Vlissengen Square, East Ruimveldt.
“The victim was at the Grocery shop sitting on a bench when the suspect drove past on a motorcycle and called out to him (deceased), telling him that he was an “Anti-man”. The victim reportedly shouted out back at the suspect, telling him that he (suspect) should come and tell him that to his face,” the police in a release stated.
As such, the suspect reportedly stopped, came off his motorcycle, and approached George which led to a scuffle between them.
Police stated that during the scuffle, the two men ended up in a drain and it was then the suspect whipped out a knife from the waist of his pants and dealt the victim several stabs – once to his left forearm and thrice to his left side abdomen.
After committing the act, the suspect fled the scene leaving the injured man in the drain. George was subsequently picked up and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, where he died while receiving treatment.
Police have since retrieved the weapon at the crime scene. Police are on the hunt for the suspect as investigations continue.
