Kaieteur News – A Pomeroon man, 21, has admitted to killing his drinking buddy over rum on Saturday at a shop located at Grant Enterprise, Pomeroon River, Region Two.
According to a police, Ellon Benjamin, better known as “Buckman”, was slain around 23:00hrs.
Benjamin, 33, and his alleged killer were at the time imbibing at the shop along with some other friends.

Hours later, his alleged killer was located by cops and questioned about the murder.
The 21-year-old suspect police admitted and was subsequently arrested.
