A 17-year-old lad of Black Water, Region One (Barima-Waini) was on Sunday night stabbed to death by his foster father.
Dead is Daniel Wilson. His cousin, 19-year-old Ron Moonsammy was also stabbed to the chest during the incident and is currently receiving medical attention.

Moonsammy was rushed to the Mabaruma Public Hospital in a critical condition and was medevacked to the Georgetown Public Hospital Co-operation shortly after for further treatment.
The body of the deceased is presently at the Mabaruma Hospital’s mortuary awaiting a postmortem examination.
