POLICE are investigating the death of a 36-year-old labourer, Amaziah Hohinkirk, who died after being stabbed reportedly by 42-year-old Alicia Edmonson at Perry Street, Tucville, on Friday.
According to information from the Guyana Police Force (GPF), the suspect and one of her sons, Darrel Kennedy, who is a friend of the victim, had a misunderstanding on Thursday evening over a speaker box that was damaged.

The police said around 6:50 hours on Friday, Edmonson, of Lot 3 Perry Street, informed her other son, Malkchi Kennedy, that Darrel reportedly abused her.

“At 7:00 AM, Malkchi went searching for Darrel and encountered Hohinkirk with an individual named Sean on Perry Street. An argument ensued, leading them to Alicia’s residence. During the confrontation at Alicia’s residence, Sean (allegedly armed with a hockey stick) struck Alicia on her left wrist. Alicia then allegedly retrieved a knife and stabbed Hohinkirk once in the abdomen and once each on the left and right wrists,” the police said.

The victim subsequently fled the scene with Sean, entered a motor vehicle, and proceeded to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), where he succumbed to his injuries while receiving treatment.

The suspect and her son Malkchi are presently in custody. Investigations are ongoing.
