ADONIE Parbhoo, 18 years, who was fatally stabbed along West Front Road on Saturday evening after praying at a masjid, might have been the unintended target in a misunderstanding his older brother had with someone else.The Guyana Chronicle was yesterday informed by Parbhoo’s mother, Sharon Greene, that based on the information she received, her older son had a misunderstanding with the suspects who attacked Adonie on Saturday evening.
The attackers have been identified as brothers, and according to the woman, her older son and one of the men had an issue over a woman who resides in the United States. However, because the men could not get to Parbhoo’s older brother, they dealt the deadly stabs on the 18-year-old instead.
The woman said that the youngest of the three persons who were present when her son was attacked was picked up by the police, and has reportedly indicated that it was his older brother who had stabbed Parbhoo and had gone into hiding at a location in Region 3.
A senior police officer confirmed that someone was picked up to assist them in their investigations.
The Chronicle was told that Parbhoo has been working in the interior for the past two years as a miner, but travelled out to Georgetown to observe the holy month of Ramadan. His mother said that he had no issues with anyone and she is certain that he was killed wrongfully.
The woman mentioned that of her four children, the now dead miner was the youngest, and is not known to be involved in any conflict with persons.
Meanwhile, the police are continuing their investigations.
