TAJ Andrew Jarvis, 27, was killed on Friday evening during a robbery as he and his friend were walking along Alexander Street, Kitty. Jarvis resided at Dowding Street, Kitty.
The 27-year-old, who previously lived overseas and who was said to be very outspoken, resisted demands for cash and other valuables by the bandits and an argument ensued.
The police in a press statement said that the incident took place just after 20:00hrs on Good Friday evening.
The police related that after the argument between the two in relation to the cash which was demanded, the bandit inflicted two stab wounds to Jarvis, one to the chest and the other to the chin.
Additionally, as Jarvis fell to the ground, the suspect began kicking him while he laid helplessly on the roadway.
Police detectives who spoke with this publication indicated that they have been given a name and possible locations where they can find the suspect and as such, efforts to locate him are ongoing.
He was pronounced dead on arrival at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
On Saturday, efforts to secure a comment from the relatives of the deceased were futile. While the police are not ruling out the possibility of robbery as the motive, they are also said to be looking into the credit records and patterns of behaviour of the now dead man as part of their investigation.
