Police Headquarters reported that another pork-knocker, 25-year-old Caldale Conyers was implicated in the alleged murder.
After the alleged murder, Police said ranks went to the Nassano Backdam, North- West District, Region One and engaged Conyers. He was at a mining camp owned by Pernell Hudson.
Conyers was told that he was implicated in Williams’ death.
He told the ranks that he and Williams were drinking ‘high wine’ and an energy drink at the camp.
They later drank some beers and sometime after, Williams left. Conyers related that about 21:00 hrs, he found his clothes around the campground and a naked Williams around.
“An argument broke out between us.
“Williams then grabbed a piece of round wood and dealt me three lashes to my forehead and shoulder,” Conyers reportedly told the officers.
He continued, “I then armed myself with a cutlass and dealt Williams two chops- one to his right-side neck and another to his left hand- causing wounds and bleeding.”
Williams was taken to the Pakera Hospital in the North-West Dostrict after the altercation. He was, however, pronounced dead.
Meanwhile, ranks later took Conyers to the campsite and then arrested him. He is in custody at the Port Kaituma Police Station.
The crime scene was also examined; evidence was collected and the scene photographed. Investigations continue.
