POLICE have two brothers in custody and are hunting the prime suspect, who has since gone into hiding, following the murder of 25-year-old Rasheed Abdool, on Wednesday night, at Non-Pareil, East Coast Demerara.

Mother of the victim, Kalawattie Singh called ‘Kamla’, of Lot 292 Block 12 Non-Pareil, said she got a telephone call, the same night, informing her that he was injured and lying on the road in the village.
She said when she reached the location, two streets from where she lives, she saw her son lying unconscious on the roadway, bleeding from stab wounds and the Police were summoned.
The woman, still in a state of shock and grief yesterday, recalled that, on her arrival at the scene Wednesday night, her loved one appeared to be dead. There was a stab wound on his throat and another to the chest.
Abdool had, reportedly, collapsed soon after he was fatally wounded by his assailant and succumbed to his injuries.
His mother, who has three other children, told the Guyana Chronicle that her labourer son had returned home from work about 18:30 hrs, taken a shower and said he was going out, as usual, but, this time, he never returned.
She said he did not mention whether he had any problem with anyone but she received the bad news about 20:30hrs, that his bloodied body was in a pool on the street.

FACE DOWN
He was lying face down before the police arrived about one and half hours later and caused his corpse to be removed by undertakers.
The suspect, who ran away from the scene on Wednesday night, lives in the village but police, collected his slippers and a bicycle which he abandoned while escaping.
Abdool was not robbed, as his cigarettes, lighter and some money were still in his pockets when the police began their investigations.
He was unmarried and had no children but leaves, to mourn, his parents, three brothers, scores of relatives and friends, some of whom were at his home yesterday, in the process of erecting a shed to hold a wake.
Abdool was described as a quiet person and not a trouble maker.
A few of his relatives said, yesterday morning, that the mother of the fugitive claimed he had gone to work in the interior a week ago but the man was seen, by residents, riding around in the village on a bicycle up to Wednesday.
