De Kinderen man stabbed to death during fight in Mahdia

Police are investigating the murder of 36-year-old Seon Grant, a Pork-knocker, who was stabbed to death during a fight with another man in the wee hours of Thursday at Nine Miles, Mahdia in Region Eight.

Police in a statement said that a 20-year-old chainsaw operator of Port Kaituma, Northwest District is in Police custody.

According to the Police, Grant – originally of De Kinderen, West Coast Demerara – and the accused were at a shop consuming alcohol; they both left at around 01:30h and the accused while walking through the trail with his older brother, was attacked by Grant.

Police said Grant rode alongside the men on a motorcycle with another male; he stopped and said the suspect: “who you calling a pu$$y?”

It is alleged that Grant then came off the motorcycle and chucked the accused which resulted in a scuffle. The accused, who was armed with a long black handle knife, stabbed Grant twice – once to the neck and the other to the right side abdomen.

Grant was taken to the Mahdia Regional Hospital where he was treated and hospitalized but died while waiting to be air dashed to Georgetown.
