Robbers ambushed a 26-year-old tailor and stabbed him to death on the Grove, East Bank Demerara access road at around 20.30 hrs last evening.
Bharrat Pitamber, of Lot 1401 Section ‘C’ Grove, was found lifeless on the desolate roadway with a stab wound to the chest and cuts on both hands, which police said indicated that he had fought back against his attackers. His pockets were turned inside out and it is believed that the killers
made off with $45,000 that Pitamber had collected earlier in the evening after selling a bird to an acquaintance. Police recovered a large knife from the scene as well as the slain man’s bicycle.
Relatives believe that Pitamber was attacked while riding through a short cut in an area known as ‘The Aqueduct’ while heading home.
Pitamber’s wife, Menadei Persaud, told Kaieteur News that her spouse plies his trade at a house that is located near the East Bank Demerara Public road. She said that he went to work earlier in the day and subsequently informed her that he had sold a bird for $45,000 to someone at his tailoring establishment.
She said that she was expecting her spouse to come home at around 19.00 hrs. However, at around 20.30 hrs, persons who knew the family came to her home and said that Pitamber’s body was lying on a roadway near ‘The Aqueduct’. Relatives rushed to the area where they found the young man’s corpse and his bicycle nearby.
The body was subsequently taken to the East Bank Demerara Hospital.
The area where Pitamber was slain is poorly lit and relatives said that the tailor had narrowly escaped being robbed on Monday night while riding through the shortcut. A relative said that they had subsequently warned him about traversing that area.
Pitamber and his spouse were married last December and have a six month-old daughter.
