The victims have been identified as Mohamed Kalameeden Nasir, a 30-year-old carpenter, and Arvinda Roopram, a 25-year-old construction worker, both from Stewartville, W.C.D.
According to reports, Nasir and Roopram were involved in a heated argument with two suspects near the District Club in Leonora around 02:50 hrs.

The confrontation escalated into a physical altercation, during which Roopram sustained multiple stab wounds, while Nasir received a fatal stab wound to his upper abdomen.
One of the suspects, 28-year-old security guard, Alex Amsterdam, called ‘Mario’, also suffered a stab wound to his upper abdomen and was taken to Leonora Cottage Hospital before being transferred to West Demerara Regional Hospital, where he remains in critical condition under police guard. The second suspect, identified only as “Terry,” fled the scene and remains at large.
Police arrived at the scene shortly after the incident, recovering a black-handled “rambo” knife. Nasir and Roopram were transported to Leonora Cottage Hospital but were pronounced dead on arrival. Several witnesses have been questioned, and investigators are following leads as the probe continues.
