A 29-year-old driver, Bharrat Gendalall called Premesh of lot 29 Clay Brick Road, Canal #2, West Bank Demerara, was attacked by a group of men in his yard where he was fatally stabbed.
The incident occurred at about 19:45h Saturday night.
Investigations reveal that Gendalall arrived home from work at around 19:40h last evening and was chatting with friends in front of his home.
Sometime after, he went across the road to urinate when a motor car driven by the suspect approached at a fast rate, with bright lights on, and stopped where Gendalall was urinating.
The driver/suspect exited the car, and an argument started between him and the victim. Gendalall dealt the suspect a cuff, and the suspect entered his vehicle and drove off.
Gendalall then went into his yard when the said car returned and stopped in front of his house.
