THE man who is alleged to have knifed his neighbour, Lloyd Benjamin, to death on Sunday morning is still on the run, police confirmed yesterday.

Murdered: Lloyd Benjamin.
Murdered: Lloyd Benjamin.

Following the murder, the suspect and his brother, with whom Benjamin had a tiff, fled the scene and are being hunted.
Police said Benjamin, 24, of Lot 131 King Edward Street, Albouystown, Georgetown, was killed at about 10:00 hrs on November 17, just in front his home.
Investigations revealed that he and another man had an altercation, after which the man’s brother confronted Benjamin and fatally stabbed him.
The wounded man was pronounced dead on arrival at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH).
Residents, who live in the upper flat of the building where Benjamin was a tenant, said they are unsure what started the quarrel and did not see the wounding because it was after it happened that they came out.
One of them said Benjamin was stabbed multiple times and collapsed and died on Independence Boulevard (Punt Trench Dam), a short distance from where he resided.
Benjamin was a Muslim and lived alone in an apartment which was padlocked and the suspect brothers a few houses away.
