A 70-year-old Crane, West Coast Demerara man was chopped to death around 10:30 am yesterday and a 16-year-old who has admitted to committing the horrendous act is in police custody.
Reports are that Eustace Williams, called ‘Patrick’ and ‘Jacket,’ sustained about 14 chop wounds, including five to the back of his head, three to his back and one to his feet.
His body was discovered in a pool of blood in the kitchen in the lower flat of his two-storey concrete house.
The suspect was captured shortly after among some thick bushes behind the house.
Reports are that the suspect had to be rescued by police from angry residents. The police had to take him away in the vehicle and then to the station fast.”
Neighbours were unaware that the chopping was taking place because of the noise from a ‘hiab’ truck that was parked in front of a building under construction opposite the scene.
