POLICE are currently investigating the murder of 27-year-old Dwayne Byass, called ‘Eddo’, who was fatally stabbed by another man during a brawl at a Middle Street Paradise, West Coast Berbice shop, after a game of dominoes went sour.

According to police, Byass’ alleged killer, Nascio Allen, 27, called ‘Buck Boy’, is currently in police custody and assisting with the investigation.

The police said that on the date in question, at about 12:50 hours, Byass and Allen were at a shop playing dominoes when a heated argument occurred, which caused a fight to ensue between them.

Allen then allegedly pulled out a knife, stabbed Byass in the left abdomen, and ran out of the shop.
He made good of his escape, leaving Byass behind, bleeding on the ground. Byass was picked up by his cousin and rushed to the Mahaicony Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival by a doctor.

Byass’ body was examined, and one wound was seen on the left side of the abdomen with the intestine protruding. His body is currently at Bailey’s Funeral Parlor, awaiting a post-mortem examination.

After committing the act, Allen went to the Weldaad Police Station and stated that Byass attacked him with a piece of wood. He further claimed that Byass “run into” the knife, which he was holding in his hands at the time.
He is currently in custody, as investigation are ongoing.
