Police are investigating the murder of 15-year-old Derril Wong, a student of the Cummings Lodge Secondary School, who was stabbed to death on Thursday afternoon at Graham Street Plaisance, East Coast Demerara.
The News Room understands that the 17-year-old suspect, who is Wong’s neighbour, is in Police custody.
Police Headquarters revealed that the incident occurred at around 16:00hrs.
The News Room was reliably informed that Wong was banned from entering the neighbour’s yard but he defied the ban and so he and the suspect got into a heated argument which then turned into a physical altercation.
Wong was stabbed with a knife; he was found lying in a pool of blood inside the house by the suspect’s sister.
