Crime sleuths have launched an investigation into the murder of 23-year-old truck porter Rayon Lall, which occurred early Sunday morning at the Port Kaituma waterfront in Region One.
According to police reports, at approximately 5:00 hours, Lall was brought to the Port Kaituma Police Station by 26-year-old porter Ewart Mingo, suffering from a stab wound to the left side of his chest.
A police officer immediately escorted Lall to the Port Kaituma Hospital for medical treatment, but he later succumbed to his injuries. His body was placed in the hospital mortuary pending a post-mortem examination.
Later that afternoon, acting on information received, police proceeded to Train Line, Port Kaituma, where they arrested 24-year-old gold miner Mark Junior George, also known as “Killa,” of Albouystown. George has a prior three-year sentence for a narcotics offence.
The suspect was informed of the allegation against him, cautioned, and made aware of his rights. In response, George reportedly told the police, “The man violated me.”
He was taken into custody at the Port Kaituma Police Station, wearing the same clothing he allegedly wore during the incident.
