Two men are killed in a stabbing on Water Street in Georgetown near Bounty Supermarket, in the Stabroek Market area, on Friday morning. The reports say the incident occurs at about 09:30. One man, identified as Vincent “Junior Browne” Trim, is reported dead at the scene after being stabbed in the neck. Another victim, identified as Tyrone Captain, is also reported to have died after receiving stab wounds.
One outlet reports that a 29-year-old salesman claims self-defence after the fatal stabbings, while another reports that the salesman is arrested. The outlets also describe differences in the victims’ ages and background details: Kaieteur News lists Trim as 23 and Captain without an age, while INews Guyana lists Captain as 36 and identifies both as residents of Corentyne, Berbice, Region Six. Both accounts agree on the location, timing, and that two people die from stab injuries during the incident.
