A 28-year-old man from Victoria on the East Coast of Demerara has been taken into Police custody for the murder of his own brother.
34-year-old Akeem Prince was chopped to death during a row with his younger brother early this morning at their Victoria home. The suspect, Kareem Prince, is expected to face charges in the coming days.
Persons in the area said the murdered brother appeared mentally ill, but the two men lived together in the same house. Just after 4 o’clock this morning, an argument broke out between the two brothers and quickly escalated into a fight.
A report from the Police stated that it was during the fight that Kareem Prince chopped the older brother, Akeem, repeatedly to the head, resulting in him collapsing and eventually dying at the scene.
It is unclear what triggered the deadly confrontation, but the matter remains under probe.
