Sophia man stabbed to death

…“He ain’t no angel but we want some justice” – sister of murdered Sophia youth

A 25-year-old man from Sophia was stabbed to death on Wednesday evening allegedly by his 23-year-old reputed wife, who has since gone into hiding. The deceased man has been identified as Akeem Evans of B Field, Sophia. Police are on the hunt for the suspect, Jenoria “Heaven” Browne.

Based on reports received, the couple shared a small apartment on the bottom flat of the home of the man’s parents.
However, on the fateful night, Evans was seen running out of the apartment, screaming and holding onto his chest, but later collapsed. He was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, where he was pronounced dead.
Upon learning of his demise, his reputed wife fled. Detectives reportedly found blood across the living room floor of the couple’s apartment.
The Guyana Times understands that the suspect suffered years of abuse at the hands of the victim, but Melissa Stuart, sister of the dead man, claims it was the other way round, with the suspect verbally abusing others in the house and the people around her.
The sister added that even though the woman would behave in a disorderly manner, her brother allowed her to vent her feelings.
“He don’t stop she. When she carrying on, he does pick up a metal chair, put it in front of the yard and sit down and watch she from corner to corner – he don’t stop she.”
Stuart nevertheless, stated that after her brother was stabbed, he ran to a neighbour’s home and related what took place.
She added that upon receiving the news she rushed to the hospital but by the time she arrived, she learned that he had passed.
“When I reach deh, it was me cousin, the girl that stab he, and she friend. And when I start question she, she said is some boy come from somewhere stabbed he. When I tell she I hear is she, she said ‘oww is nah me’, and is everyone she telling is nah she.”
At that point, Stuart noted that she left in a car with her friend. Afterwards, the aggrieved sister stated that she attempted to contact Browne several times but she refused to take the telephone call.
“We want some kind of justice; he life can’t go down just so… He ain’t no angel… Everybody who he had a problem with or who know he, know he is no angel, but we want some form of justice…”
The Police are continuing their manhunt for the suspect.
