Suspect in Haslington fatal stabbing arrested, confesses to crime

Just two days after fatally stabbing his friend, Eric Fraser also called “50 Cent” during an argument at Haslington, East Coast Demerara (ECD), the suspect, Terrence Sam, has turned himself in.
Guyana Times understands that Sam, also known as “Poke Eye,” a 51-year-old security guard from Haslington, ECD, surrendered himself at the Brickdam Police Station. He was then taken to the Cove and John Police Station, where he was subjected to a video interview.

During the interview, he confessed to the act under caution and was subsequently taken into custody.
Based on Sam’s confession, the altercation occurred between the now deceased Fraser and the suspect at Mogo Barbershop in Haslington North. The argument was reportedly rooted in an old grievance between the two.
In a fit of rage, Sam whipped out a knife and stabbed Fraser in the groin. The victim collapsed and was urgently transported to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation for medical attention, but unfortunately, he was pronounced dead.

Eyewitnesses on Friday told this publication that the two men were friends and that earlier in the day, they were embroiled in an argument. The exact cause of the disagreement remains unknown.
However, it was during the course of that confrontation that Sam attempted to stab Fraser, but the victim managed to disarm him. The dispute seemingly subsided, and both men, along with their friends, were present at the barber shop.
Fraser reportedly left briefly but returned, leading to yet another altercation during which he was fatally stabbed.
After receiving the stab wound, Fraser ran to his yard, and collapsed.
