Police are trying to track down a Patentia, West Coast Demerara man in connection with the murder of 25-year-old Dellon Bradford, who was stabbed to death two Wednesdays ago, during a dispute with relatives of his reputed wife.
Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum said that police have already been advised to charge the suspect, who is known as ‘Scrawly,’ but they have been unable to locate him.
Dellon Bradford, called ‘Chicken’, of Skull City, Patentia, died at the West Demerara Regional Hospital after collapsing on a roadway in his community with stab wounds to the back, stomach and arm-pit.
Police had earlier detained a woman and a male relative, but subsequently released them.
Bradford had fathered three children, aged seven, two and one.
Police sources said that an arrest warrant was out for Bradford, who had failed to return to court to answer to a robbery charge.
According to police officials, the mother of Bradford’s children lives a short distance away from his residence, and at around 19.30 hrs on Wednesday, March 23, she accused him of breaking into her residence when no one was at home, and making off with $200,000.
It is alleged that Bradford punched her after she confronted him with the allegation.
Some of the woman’s relatives, including ‘Scrawly’, reportedly then stabbed him.
But Bradford’s relatives allege that the woman’s relatives, including ‘Scrawly’, attacked him after the couple had an altercation over her drinking.
They claimed that Bradford’s reputed wife was drinking at a house a short distance from his residence, when he asked her to come home and look at the children. When she refused, he reportedly slapped her. It was then that the woman’s relatives stabbed Bradford.
Some of Bradford’s associates said that the wounded man ran towards them. He reportedly said “you see what they do to me?” he then collapsed.
The friends then rushed him to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation where he succumbed.
