Forty-four-year-old Mohan “Wire” Sookdeo who stabbed his son to death on Saturday evening was charged for the heinous crime and will make his court appearance at the Cove and John Magistrate’s Court today.
Satesh Kevin Sookdeo, 21, of Lot 217 Fifth Street, Foulis, East Coast Demerara, was stabbed to death during an argument with his father.
It was reported that at about 20:35h, the 44-year-old suspect and his wife had an argument during which he grabbed her by the neck and began choking her.
Upon seeing this, the now dead young man and another sibling intervened, but this angered the father, who subsequently broke a louvre pane and stabbed him to his chest.
Neighbours rushed to the family’s aid after hearing screams, but by then the younger Sookdeo had already succumbed to the injuries. A post-mortem examination performed on his body proved that he died from perforation to the lung as a result of the stab wound to his chest.
