Man kills labourer for stealing his haversack
Kaieteur News – Police have arrested a 44-year-old man accused of killing a 24-year-old labourer on Friday Night at Water Front, Port Kaituma, North West District, Region One.
The victim was identified as Joel Ramitt of Red Hill, Port Kaituma and he was reportedly killed for stealing the suspect’s haversack, at an apartment complex at Water Front.
Ramitt, according to information received, died after reporting his killer, a pork knocker of Ann’s Grove, East Coast Demerara (ECD), to police at Port Kaituma.
Police said that the suspect reportedly stayed in a rented room at the apartment complex, and had secured it and left around 21:00 hrs.
Investigators learnt that at around 23:00hrs, Ramitt was spotted by another man jumping out of the suspect’s apartment window with a haversack on his back. The man reportedly stopped Ramitt and detained him with the haversack before taking him to the suspect.
After learning that Ramitt was caught jumping out of his window, the suspect checked the haversack and saw that it was his.
Police said that the suspect then reached for a knife from his waist and stabbed Ramitt to the abdomen.
