A northwest miner is now dead after being stabbed several times during the course of an argument close to midnight on Tuesday.
The deceased has since been identified as 25-year-old Rondae Peters of Waramuri Village, Moruca.
According to the man’s brother-in-law Colin La Cruz, Peters was said to have been imbibing with several others when a misunderstanding erupted between him and another individual from the same community.
