A brawl at Supply, Mahaica, East Coast Demerara (ECD) on Monday evening has left 36-year-old Ray Sheoraj, called “Redman,” dead.

Police stated that at about 23:00h, Sheoraj was at his Supply ECD home in the company of several others when an argument broke out with a male relative who resides in the same yard.

During the altercation, the suspect allegedly inflicted an injury to the deceased’s left leg with a sharp object. According to reports, the injured man attempted to curtail the bleeding but later collapsed in the upper flat of his home.

He was taken to the Enmore Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Detectives state that a cutlass and a chopper, suspected to have been used in the incident, were recovered at the scene.

However, the 62-year-old suspect fled the scene shortly after committing the act. He is presently being pursued by the police.

Two men who were at the home during the brawl are in police custody.  In addition, a female relative who sustained a minor injury during the altercation was treated and sent away. Investigations are ongoing.
