Two suspects were recently arrested in connection with the fatal stabbing of a Timehri father of one.
Lawrence Raymond Benjamin, 24, of Ice House Road, Timehri, East Bank Demerara, was last Sunday found dead with two stab wounds to left side of his neck and ribs at a shop which is in close proximity to the airport.
Police had previously said that the motive for the stabbing was not yet determined even as they were working to have suspects apprehended. On Thursday, information received from the police stated that two suspects had been arrested.
According to the police, the arrests of the two suspects came as a result of a collaborative effort between three policing divisions. The suspects reportedly confessed their involvement in the incident.
Benjamin’s sister previously told Stabroek News that the details leading to her brother’s death were unclear as she was told many different stories. She stated that she was told that Benjamin was attacked by three boys over an issue involving cannabis. The deceased man’s sister further stated that she saw videos of her brother after he was stabbed where it looked like he was gasping for air as he bled out.
