Sophia labourer dies after cutlass battle with neighbour

WANTED: Troy Tasho

A labourer was fatally stabbed by his neighbour in ‘B’ Field, Sophia, on Monday evening, after a cutlass battle that reportedly stemmed from an old grievance between them.

Roy Beckles, 45, called “Fish Cake,” who was a father of three of the B’ Field Squatting Area, Sophia, succumbed at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH), where he was taken after suffering a single stab wound to his right shoulder.

The police yesterday afternoon issued a wanted bulletin for the neighbour, who has been identified as Troy Tasho, 42, also known as “19,” who is a mason.
