"Labourer Fatally Stabbed in Port Kaituma Apartment Complex, Suspect Arrested by Police"

 A labourer in the North West District of Guyana is now dead after being fatally stabbed in his abdomen on Friday night. The incident occurred at an Apartment Complex located at Port Kaituma Water Front, North West District (NWD).

Joel Ramitt, 44, of Red Hill, NWD, was stabbed in his abdomen by a 44-year-old suspect, a Pork-Knocker from Anns Grove, East Coast Demerara, who has since been arrested by the police.

According to reports, the suspect was renting a room at the Apartment Complex at Port Kaituma. On Friday evening, he secured his room and left. However, at around 11 pm, a man noticed Ramitt jumping out of the suspect's room window with a haversack on his back. The man held on to Ramitt and took him along with the haversack to the suspect.

The man told the suspect he saw Ramitt exiting his room. The suspect checked the haversack and recognized it was his. The suspect then pulled out a knife from his waist and dealt the victim one stab to his abdomen.

Ramitt managed to run to Port Kaituma Police Station to make a report. The police observed that his intestines were protruding from his body and immediately rushed him to Port Kaituma Hospital, where he was seen and examined by the doctor on duty and admitted to the said hospital in critical condition.

When the police visited the scene the next morning, they managed to contact the suspect and arrested him. A search conducted inside his room revealed one black handle knife with a red substance that appeared to be blood on it. The scene was thereafter photographed, and the suspect was placed into custody at the Port Kaituma Police Station.

Unfortunately, Ramitt succumbed to his injuries at around 8 am on Saturday. His body was escorted to the Port Kaituma Mortuary awaiting PME.

Investigations are currently in progress. We extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Joel Ramitt during this difficult time. Stay tuned for further updates as more information becomes available.
