Teenage construction worker attacked, stabbed to death

A 19-year-old construction worker was on Wednesday afternoon attacked and stabbed to death by a colleague with a pair of scissors.

Dead is Chrisgaichan Narine, called “Boyo”, of Recht-Door-Zee, West Bank Demerara (WBD).
Police stated that the deadly stabbing occurred at Independence Drive in the vicinity of Third Avenue, Parfaite Harmonie, WBD, about 16:50h.
The now deceased teenager and his uncle, 23-year-old Gansham Singh, were going home on a bicycle, when the suspect appeared from the opposite direction on an electrical bike.
The suspect then attacked the now deceased teen. Consequently, the uncle ran from the scene, leaving Narine in a scuffle with the suspect.
While running, the uncle reportedly saw that the suspect was armed with an orange pair of scissors in his right hand. The suspect is alleged to have dealt the 19-year-old two stabs – one to the lower abdomen and another to the left shoulder – after which he made good his escape on the electrical bike.
After the stabbing incident, Singh picked up his nephew in an attempt to take him to the nearest Police Station, but he collapsed.
As a result, the matter was reported to the Police. Ranks arrived at the scene and immediately picked up the injured teen and rushed him to the West Demerara Regional Hospital (WDRH), where he succumbed to his injuries while receiving medical attention.
Narine’s body is at the Ezekiel Funeral Home awaiting a post-mortem. Meanwhile, acting on information received, a party of Police ranks went to Westminster, WBD, where the suspect, a 23-year-old construction worker was arrested for the heinous crime. He was taken to the Parfaite Harmonie Police Station and was assisting with the investigation.
