Kaieteur News – What would usually be a tradition for two brothers and their mother to have breakfast together turned ugly yesterday morning when one brother stabbed the other to death at their mother’s Cummings Street, Georgetown residence.

Stabbed to death, Paul Anthony Chase.

The dead man has been identified as 24-year-old Paul Anthony Chase of Norton Street, Lodge; the brother in custody has been identified as Quincy Reynolds, 27.
Kaieteur News learnt that the incident occurred sometime after 08:00hrs at the top flat of T&J Unique Choice Salon and Gift Shop.
The dead man’s mother, Sonia Chase told the media yesterday that her sons had a misunderstanding, which then got out of control. The woman said before the tragic incident, she had confronted Reynolds about something in which he denied he had any involvement. Chase said after hearing that, she did not question him further but he ended up getting upset. The woman then decided to call her husband who informed her to call the police.

According to Chase, she went into her bedroom and made the call, and as she was doing so, Reynolds got annoyed and went behind her. While turning around, Reynolds dealt a cuff to her left eye before leaving the room.
Chase further stated that while in the room, she heard a woman shouting outside “Y’all stop”. When she got outside, she saw that Paul was bleeding, while the woman was shouting “murder, murder”.

According to a police report, Reynolds used a knife to inflict the fatal injuries to Paul. The now dead man received two stab wounds, one to his chest and the other to his neck.
The police were summoned to the scene; the young man’s body was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation where he was pronounced dead on arrival. The body was later transported to Lyken Funeral Home where it is awaiting a post mortem examination.
Reynolds was arrested and is presently at the Alberttown Police Station, where he is assisting with the investigations.
