An 18-year-old labourer of Friendship, Buxton East Coast Demerara died after he was reportedly stabbed by his uncle, who is presently being sought by police.

Dead is Daniel Akeem Amore.

Police Headquarters revealed that the incident occurred at Clyde Roopchand Drive in Buxton at about 21:30hrs on Sunday.

In defence of his mother, Amore then confronted the suspect who dropped his weapons and ran. He was followed by Amore when he reportedly stabbed the teen to his chest.

Amore collapsed and was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
