Security officer attacked, stabbed to death over old grievance

A female security officer was on Monday attacked and stabbed to death by three women and a man in East La Penitence, Georgetown. The dead woman has been identified as 23-year-old Carol Davidson of Lot 191 East Ruimveldt Squatting Area.
Based on reports received, the woman was reportedly heading home from work when she was confronted by the four persons over an old grievance with one of the women.

During the confrontation, a heated argument broke out among them but the now dead woman reportedly attempted to escape by running to the back of the yard, but again she was surrounded and beaten.
Guyana Times understands that one of the attackers who was armed with a knife dealt the woman one blow to her chest. After committing the act, the four attackers ran away from the scene, leaving the woman in a pool of blood on the ground.
Davidson was subsequently picked up and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital where she was pronounced dead.
“We didn’t even know when she got stabbed, we thought that it was just a little fight, you know and everything would have done. But she was stabbed straight to her heart when we took her to the hospital, me and the driver of the car. The doctor pronounced her dead at the hospital,” an eyewitness told a section of the media.
However, the victim’s father, John Davidson, recalled that he was at work when he received the news of his daughter’s demise. He told the media that he was aware that his daughter had an issue with one of her attackers but he was under the impression that it was resolved.
“Truly speaking we heard she talk about the problem and this problem went around a while but I thought it ease down and she and one of the girls was friends. So that is how the sweetness turns bitter,” the father related.
He further stated that he had warned his daughter not to allow the problem to escalate.
“As a father, I always told her to let it ride, come off it but according to how I got it she was going her way this morning and they ran and attacked her,” Davidson said. He described his daughter as a very caring young woman. Police have confirmed that the four suspects have been arrested for the heinous crime.
