30-year-old, West Coast Demerara man, Toralpher Simon Harry aka “Harry Makaveli” was stabbed to death this morning by a Venezuelan national during a row near a food stand on the Vreed-en-hoop Public Road.

According to a Police report, Harry was in the company of another friend heading home from a show at around 3 o’clock this morning when they stopped at a hot dog stand to get something to eat.

The friend reported that while they were waiting to make the purchase, Harry and a Venezuelan national got into an argument that quickly escalated into a scuffle.

The man reported that the scuffle ended up on the other side of the road where the Venezuelan man was seen armed with a knife. The friend said Harry attempted to fight the man off with his belt, but was seen clutching to his neck with blood pouring, as the suspect escaped in a mini-bus. Surveillance video recordings captured the father of two stepping away from the Venezuelan man, and moving away from him but the man continued to advance towards him, eventually stabbing him to the neck.

The injured 30-year-old was rushed to the West Demerara Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. The Police said a stab wound was noticed to the left side of the victim’s neck.

The suspect is still to be apprehended and a number of other persons who witnessed the incident have been questioned.

Investigations are ongoing.
