A TRAGIC incident unfolded on the Corentyne Coast this week resulting in the death of a 22-year-old fisherman who was stabbed in his abdomen.
Michael Jackson also known as ‘Junior’, of Number 72 Village, Corentyne, was fatally stabbed on Thursday evening allegedly by his brother-in-law Terrence Simon Adams, 27, also a fisherman of Number 76 Housing Scheme, Corentyne.

Based on the information gathered, the incident took place just around 21:00 hours.
Jackson’s mother, Radica Rajkumar, told the Sunday Chronicle that the suspect was married to her daughter who is now deceased. According to her, the two men had initially shared somewhat of a good relationship.

But the two got into an argument surrounding Adams’ children days before the murder took place.
She said, “Them had a problem here with my son and he (suspect) take the kids and go away and so when I go for my granddaughter’s birthday, the grandson fight to come with me and he send the child.”

After her granddaughter spent the weekend with them, the suspect returned with his belongings, “and I didn’t tell him anything because of the children make he deh here.”
According to the woman, the duo argued after she took the children out and Adams became annoyed claiming that the children did not shower or were dressed properly to go out.
According to the woman, during the argument, Adams broadsided her son and since then, they have been arguing.

Jackson’s sister, Selina Gobin explained that on Thursday her brother informed her that he was stabbed.
Upon noticing the injury, she said she used a shirt to wrap it and neighbours assisted with transporting Jackson to the Skeldon Public Hospital where he succumbed.
Jackson’s mother while pleading for justice said, “I want justice for my son, I never expected something like that, if he got to go to jail let he go, me ain’t concern.”

As of yesterday, the police were continuing their search for the suspect.
