Police in Regional Division #3 have arrested four persons following the fatal stabbing of a man on the West Bank of Demerara Saturday night.
Dead is 24-year-old Allie Mark Augustine, a welder of Lot 28 Lust-en-Rust, WBD.
According to the police, the incident occurred at about 22:30h on Saturday at Lust-En-Rust.
Investigations revealed that Augustine was at a birthday party at Lot 37 Lust-en-Rust when an argument started between him and a group of villagers over an old grievance. The argument was followed by a scuffle between Augustine and a few young men, which then resulted in him being stabbed.
The injured man then ran a short distance away and collapsed in a nearby yard.
The residents summoned the police and Augustine’s body was checked during which a single wound was observed to his left armpit.
The body was subsequently escorted to the West Demerara Regional Hospital, where Augustine was pronounced dead on arrival by a doctor on duty. The body is at the Ezekiel Funeral Home, awaiting a post-mortem examination.
Several persons were questioned, and as a result of the information received, four persons were arrested and are in custody.
