A young Rose Hall, Corentyne man was early Sunday morning stabbed to death during a robbery which occurred while he was making his way home.
According to reports 18 year-old Ajai Cecil, was pronounced dead on arrival at the New Amsterdam Public Hospital, shortly after the incident.
Relatives told this publication that Cecil left his home at around 19:30 hours on Saturday to attend a Fun Day at the Area H Ground Rose Hall. The man then decided to stay for the ‘wash down’ and was heading home at around 12:30 hours, with a relative, identified only as Rakesh, when he was attacked by three men.
Rakesh identified one of the attackers as a man called ‘Muscle’.
Dead 18 year-old Ajai Cecil
The eyewitness recalled that one of the men struck Cecil on his head with a piece of wood causing him to fall to the ground. The men then relieved the injured teen of his valuables comprising three gold rings, a gold band and a gold chain. As the men were relieving Cecil of his valuables they dealt him several stab wounds about his body. Rakesh said that during the attack he ran away and screamed for help. The robbers chased after him but subsequently gave up and fled the area. The injured man was taken to the hospital by his father Chandra Bose who had responded to Rakesh’s cries for help.
According to Bose when he arrived on the scene, he saw his son lying on the road with blood all over his body, and he was panting for breath.
He told Kaieteur News that he placed his injured son in his car and proceeded to the Port Mourant Hospital. However when he arrived at that institution, the gates were tightly shut and his calls from help went unanswered, forcing him to leave. The grieving man said he then drove to the New Amsterdam Hospital where a doctor on duty pronounced his son dead on arrival.
Cecil was the only son for his parents and has three other siblings. The young man would have celebrated his 1st wedding anniversary yesterday with his wife Alisha who is eight months pregnant with their first child. Cecil worked with his father as a wholesale vendor of fried nuts and channa.
Meanwhile this publication was told that so far one person has been arrested and the police are seeking the two other suspects in connection with the murder.
