JAMAL Harris, 19, of Lot 82 Joseph Pollydore Street, Lodge, was fatally stabbed at the Kitty Seawall, also in Georgetown, early yesterday morning.

Police investigating the murder said it took place during an altercation the victim had with persons unknown, about 02:30 hrs.
They said the continuing investigations have, so far, revealed that Harris had been involved in a quarrel with a group during which he was wounded in his abdomen and, later, pronounced dead on arrival at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH).
Mother of the deceased, Yvonne Smith told the Guyana Chronicle that she was at home when her son’s girlfriend, Tandika Hinckson, 22, telephoned her to say she should go to the GPH because the former heard about the stabbing.
Smith said, when she arrived at the hospital, she was told that her son had died and she did not get to see his body.
She said that another young man had conveyed her son to the GPH in a rented car, abandoned the vehicle in the hospital compound and fled on foot.
The woman said her son had left home Sunday, saying he was going to a creek with some friends, after which he went to socialise at the seawall, in a motor car he had hired.
Smith said she does not know who are her son’s friends since none of them came forward and she is hoping that the killer will surrender to the police so that justice can be served.
She said her son would, usually, go out with friends from the neighbourhood but, this time, he went with another group.
The owner of the rented car has since been questioned by investigators in an effort to ascertain who drove her son to the GPH before fleeing.
Harris, the second child for his mother, is survived by two siblings, Hinckson and several relatives.
He was employed by New Guyana Pharmaceutical Corporation Inc. as a maintenance assistant and lived home with Hinckson.
