ONE day after being stabbed by an 18-year-old male of Amakokopai Village, Upper Mazaruni River, a 23-year-old farmer succumbed Monday to his injuries.
Dead is Hernan Leman of Amakokopai Village, Upper Mazaruni River. Reports are that the deceased was engaged in a scuffle with the suspect, Terlly Federicks, about 16:00hrs on Sunday at Amakokopai Village.

The fight allegedly stemmed from an altercation between Fredericks and Leman’s younger brother, Ron Leman, which occurred earlier.

Fredericks was armed with a knife which he allegedly used to stab the 23-year-old to his abdomen, resulting in severe injuries.
As a result, the victim’s younger brother picked up the said knife and dealt the suspect a stab to his back.

Federicks and Hernan Leman were both rushed to the Kamarang Regional Hospital where they were examined by a doctor on duty and admitted in critical conditions.
While they were waiting to be transported to the Georgetown Public Hospital for further medical treatment, at about 9:15hrs on Monday, Hernan Leman succumbed to his injuries.
Ron Leman has been taken into police custody as the investigation continues.
