Teen labourer stabbed to death at Loo Creek; coworker arrested

A 17-year-old labourer, Gaurav Bhagwan of Cane Grove on the East Coast of Demerara, was allegedly stabbed to death by his coworker.
The incident occurred at about 21:30hrs on Saturday at Loo Creek, Soesdyke-Linden Highway. The 36-year-old suspect, who is also a labourer of La Belle Alliance on the Essequibo Coast, is presently in police custody assisting with the investigation.

Preliminary investigations revealed that Bhagwan and several co-workers were part of a team engaged in a road and drainage project in the Loo Creek area.
On Saturday evening, one of the workers reportedly heard a loud scream and upon checking, discovered Bhagwan lying motionless, with what appeared to be stab wounds about his body. The suspect was seen nearby and was restrained by his colleagues until the arrival of the police.
Bhagwan was transported to the Diamond Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival by a doctor on duty. The body is currently at the hospital’s mortuary awaiting a post-mortem examination.
Investigations are ongoing.
