His mother, Diane Alleyne, said she was told that her son had been taking a shortcut to his father’s home.

“Enterprise is the short cut to go by he father, ’cause it shorter, and a group of people hold on pon he and beat he. The is wah I hear. When we go at the hospital, he was there laying. He didn’t die yet. He die last night (Monday),” Alleyne told Stabroek News. “He would normally use the same route from small, since he going to school, ’cause he used to go to school in Enterprise,” the woman added. While it was reported that the youth was beaten after he stole a cellular phone from a resident in the area, Alleyne questioned the fact that nobody has made a report about the alleged theft. “I go back at the Vigilance station after he died and no one had made any report. The police say them get an unknown call that a man deh on the road lie down and when them, go they pick he up and rush he to the hospital,” she noted.

She also questioned the fact that no one claims to know what happened. “This thing happen since minutes to twelve the afternoon.
