Dwayne Daniel Taitt, 24, an Enforcement Officer attached to the Guyana Revenue Authority, was fatally stabbed this morning around 00:30hrs.
Guyana Standard understands that Daniel, who resides at Lot 2 Middleton Street, Georgetown with his wife and two-year-old daughter, were given up to July 14 to vacate the premises. Last night, the man woke to someone banging on the door with a piece of wood demanding that the family vacate the building.
Taitt opened the door and went out to the suspect, who was armed with a knife, which he used to attack the 24-year-old.
Taitt ran out on a street opposite the said apartment, where the suspect pursued and dealt him a stab to his chest. The young man collapsed, while the suspect fled the scene with the weapon.
He was picked up by his reputed wife and a security guard and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation where he was pronounced dead by a doctor. The body was examined, and a wound was seen to his left upper chest.
The 42-year-old suspect was subsequently arrested, the weapon was recovered, and statements were taken. Investigations are in progress.
