Teen stabbed to death during card game dispute

A construction worker was stabbed to death over a card game at Westminster, La Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara (WBD) on Sunday.

Dead is 17-year-old Akeem Bannister, also called “Boy” of La Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara (WBD).
Based on reports received, an argument erupted between Bannister, a 30-year-old vendor, and another man, a 26-year-old construction worker, over a card game near a supermarket in the area.
During the confrontation, the 26-year-old allegedly armed himself with a cutlass and dealt the 30-year-old male a chop to his right hand. In retaliation, the vendor reportedly drew a knife, thus resulting in a scuffle between them.
However, Bannister subsequently became involved in the confrontation, during which the 30-year-old male allegedly stabbed him three times in his lower limbs.
Both Bannister and the injured construction worker were rushed to the West Demerara Regional Hospital, where Bannister succumbed to his injuries while receiving medical attention.
The 26-year-old was also treated at the hospital. The suspect remains at large.
