Cops in Regional Division 4 ‘B’ are investigating the murder of Quincy Weekes, 41, of Lot 31 Nelson Street Mocha, East Bank Demerara.
The suspect is said to be a 28-year-old Mocha resident. The incident occurred at around 8:15hrs today at the Mocha Access Road, where both men ply their trade as taxi drivers.
It is alleged that the two men, some time ago, had a misunderstanding over $500, and today, Weekes and the suspect were at the Mocha Access Road when an argument started between them over parking.
The suspect armed himself with a knife and dealt Weekes several stab wounds about his body. He was pronounced dead at the scene by Doctor Wickett from the Emergency Team.
Four stab wounds were seen on the body: two on both hands, one under the left shoulder and the other to the chest.
The body was then taken to the Memorial Gardens Funeral Parlour where it awaits a post-mortem examination.
The suspect, who was also taken for medical attention, is presently in police custody assisting with investigations.
