Police are investigating the death of Kenroy Bradford, a 20-year-old labourer of Wismar, Linden.
Police Headquarters said the man died around 00:05 hrs Friday at Five Corners, Linden.
Late Thursday night, Bradford was said to be in the company of Andrew Jacobs and Anthony Jacobs (both residents of Block 22 Wismar) at Blazing Shop at Five Corner Mackenzie, consuming alcohol. During this time, Anthony went over to a 29-year-old female bartender, who was in the company of 20-year-old Cyrus Jacobis, and four other persons.
Cyrus became angry and pushed Anthony away, and an argument reportedly started between the parties.
Cyrus and his crew then left the shop and went to the parapet of Five Corners. Anthony and his friends then followed Cyrus and the others, and the argument continued.
It is alleged that Jacobs and his crew started to pelt beer bottles at Cyrus and his gang. A brawl erupted between both parties in the parking lot of Five Corners, and Cyrus allegedly rushed into the fight with a knife and stabbed Anthony in his abdomen, causing him to fall. Andrew then pulled Anthony away from Cyrus and received a cut to his finger in the process.
The fight continued with parties on both sides joining the melee.
When the fight ended, Andrew realized that his brother Anthony was bleeding, and he rushed him to the Linden Hospital Complex with the assistance of a public-spirited citizen. Cyrus and his crew then left the Five Corners spot.
However, persons who were close by observed Bradford on the ground and contacted the Police. Ranks arrived at the scene where information was given, and they made checks in Dacama Circle, Mackenzie, and arrested Cyrus, whose clothing was covered with suspect’s blood.
He was taken to the Mackenzie Police Station, where it was observed that he had injuries to his back and a cut to his left ear. He was escorted to the Linden Hospital Complex for medical attention, where he was treated and taken into Police custody.
The scene was processed, where it was observed that Bradford was motionless, in a crouching position, bracing on the back of a White Premio motor car bearing registration number plate PAH 1750.
Bradford was later escorted to the Linden Hospital Complex, where he was pronounced dead by a doctor. The body is at the J.Jetsco Funeral Home, awaiting a post-mortem examination.
Meanwhile, Anthony is admitted to the hospital as a patient, with his condition deemed critical.
In custody are Cyrus Jacobis, Tiffany Fiedtkou, and Andrew Jacobs. Investigations are ongoing.
