Two men dead after fight at Victoria party

Two men are now dead and two others seriously injured following a fight early Sunday morning at a party hosted at Victoria, East Coast Demerara (ECD).

Dead are Yoffi Bobb, a 24-year-old mason of Victoria, ECD and William Montrose, a 26-year-old miner/construction worker of Sideline Dam, Victoria, ECD.

Delex Skeete, a 25-year-old plumber and Siyani McFarlene, a 19-year-old mason, are seriously injured.

Police Headquarters reported that Bobb, Skeete and McFarlene were at a party at Victoria, ECD, after 01:45 hrs Sunday morning and they allegedly attacked Montrose and took away his gold chain.

During this attack, Bobb and the others reportedly dealt Montrose several stabs about his body. Montrose then left the party but returned with a cutlass and dealt all three men chops about their bodies. He then fled the scene.

Bobb and the two others were escorted to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, where Bobb was pronounced dead while the other two were admitted as patients.

Skeete’s condition is regarded as serious while McFarlene’s condition is regarded as stable. Bobb’s body was examined and severe wounds were seen to the right side shoulder.

Sometime after, Police Officers combed the area of the scene and discovered Montrose’s body in a trench about 500 feet north of the scene. His body was facing upwards and when taken out of the trench, it was observed that there were several wounds about his body (on his forehead, one to the left side upper chest, and two to the right side jaw).

A knife was also found tucked in his left side waist.

The body was escorted to the Georgetown Public Hospital and pronounced dead. Several persons were questioned as investigations continue.
