Home News Suspect in Leopold St fatal stabbing still at large – Police
The Guyana Police Force (GPF) on Sunday in a statement confirmed that an investigation into the fatal stabbing of 18-year-old Noel Fraser called “Nunu”, is ongoing and investigators have not been able to locate the suspect.
The GPF said the suspect is a 25-year-old gold miner of Leopold Street, Werk-en-Rust, Georgetown, and also from Tucville.
Fraser, of 101 Leopold Street, Georgetown, was stabbed to death at about 08:00h on Saturday while trying to make peace between his two friends who were fighting.
His mother, Carol Fraser, recounted that she initially heard a commotion outside her house but didn’t think much of it. She went out later to find her son trying to stop the altercation.
During the struggle, one of the young men turned his anger towards Noel, fatally stabbing him in the chest. Despite her efforts to intervene, Noel collapsed.
Noel’s mother described him as a peaceful individual and revealed that she had recently cautioned him against getting involved in conflicts to maintain his safety.
The incident resulted in a broken fence and Noel’s body lying in a neighbour’s yard. He was taken to the Georgetown Hospital, but attempts to save his life were unsuccessful.
Noel’s family, already facing financial difficulties, is now burdened by both emotional pain and strained finances due to his sudden demise. The grieving mother is seeking justice for her son, emphasising the need for accountability in this tragic event.
