Paul Hardeo

An overseas-based Guyanese businessman was fatally stabbed at the home he shared with his mother in Alness, Corentyne, early Saturday morning after three masked bandits broke into the house and escaped with an undisclosed sum.

Now deceased is Paul Hardeo, 46, a married father of two who lived in the United States, and who operated a furniture establishment, a trucking service, a construction company and a paint retail outlet in the Corentyne. Hardeo had returned to Guyana last Thursday following a request by his mother, Stella Hardeo, 61, to resolve a land dispute which she had found difficulty dealing with.
