Tuschen labourer found chopped to death

A 29-year-old labourer was discovered chopped to death at his Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo (EBE) home early Monday morning following an alleged dispute with a man known to him.
Dead is Herbert Hartman of Tuschen New Scheme, EBE.
Reports indicate that the incident occurred sometime between 20:30h on Sunday and 06:00h on Monday. Police said that Hartman and a 23-year-old construction worker of Tuschen Housing Scheme, who is currently in police custody, were earlier at a worksite in the area where they were allegedly consuming alcohol.
During that time, an argument reportedly erupted between the two men, and the suspect allegedly threatened Hartman before leaving the location.
It is alleged that the suspect later went to Hartman’s residence armed with a cutlass, where another confrontation occurred.
At about 06:00h on Monday, Hartman was found lying motionless in a pool of blood at his residence with several chop wounds about his body. He was taken to the DeKinderen Regional Hospital, where he was examined by a doctor and pronounced dead.
His body was subsequently transported to the Ezekiel Funeral Home, where it awaits a post-mortem examination.
The 23-year-old suspect was later contacted and arrested and remains in police custody, assisting with investigations.
