The man's body on the pavement

A vendor, who usually plies his trade on Regent Street, Georgetown was moments ago stabbed to death while selling on the pavement.  The man has been identified as Mark Singh.

The incident occurred on Regent Street, between Avenue of the Republic and King Street, Georgetown. The now dead man was a suspect in a $400 million gold heist.

According to family members at the scene, the man was selling when someone walked up to him and began stabbing him about his body. Singh immediately buckled, fell to the ground, bled out, and was later pronounced dead.

It is still unclear what might have caused the stabbing, and if police were able to apprehend the suspect.

It is alleged that between December 2021 and January 2022, in the company of others, Singh stole 1000 ounces of raw gold, worth $400 million, from a businesswoman of Mahaica, East Coast Demerara.
