– One suspect in police custody
A farewell party turned into sorrow for a Lesbeholden, Black Bush Polder, Berbice family as one of their loved ones was murdered not far from home on Saturday evening.
According to reports, Jewanlall Deonarine, 45, left his Lot 7 Lesbeholden residence around 20:15hrs in a car with a group of men to buy cigarettes from a neighbouring shop.
At the time his family was hosting a farewell party for one of his sons-in-law.
Kaieteur news understands that at the shop an altercation ensued between Deonarine’s group inclusive of his two sons-in-law and another group of eight men.
According to his daughter Cindy Deonarine, the group that attacked her family for no known reason, was armed with knives and cutlasses. Seeing the imminent danger, the men who were with her father escaped but Jewanlall Deonarine decided not to run away.
From all indications the group of men pounced on him and battered him to death.
Cindy said her brother-in-law ran and jumped into a nearby trench while her husband hid in a clump of bushes. The other men who were with them escaped in the car. Cindy said her husband used his mobile phone to call the police who told him to go to the police station. But, he was unable to do so because he was still hiding.
Apparently, another phone call from the man encouraged the police to visit the scene. It was not until the police arrived did the man emerge from hiding. Upon combing the area the police found Deonarine motionless on the Lesbeholden Public Road.
Deonarine was rushed to the Port Mourant Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. One suspect is in police custody assisting with investigations.
