– while making peace between colleague, reputed wife

THE peace of the Middle Mazaruni turned ugly on Sunday when a miner stabbed to death his co-worker for making peace between him and his wife.

The police have since identified the peacemaker as Rakesh, of Mahaicony, East Coast Demerara, and confirmed that the incident took place at Turtle Creek Landing.

Word is that the miner was assaulting his reputed wife, when Rakesh cautioned him about hitting her, at which point he turned on him, attacking him with a knife, and dealt him several stabs about the body.

On seeing Rakesh fall to the ground, the suspect reportedly fled the scene, and the hunt is now on for him, as the police investigate the matter.
