A FATHER of nine was stabbed to death by his cousin following an argument on Saturday night.Dead is 51-year-old Lennox Norton called “Tip” of Lot 70 Lodge, Georgetown.

Reports reveal that about 21:30hrs, Norton, who is a miner and his cousin Aubrey Clerk were imbibing at the abovementioned address when a heated argument started, resulting in Norton being stabbed to the abdomen.

He succumbed to his injuries while receiving medical treatment at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation. The suspect has not been arrested as yet.

According to the mother of the perpetrator, Winifred Garraway, her son is a quiet individual, who only becomes aggressive when he consumes alcoholic beverages.

She said Norton was staying at their home, since he did not return to the interior to work because he was unwell.

Mrs Garraway said her son, Aubrey Clerk, who also lives at the same address, was having a drink with Norton when she heard the argument and shouted on them to desist.

But, the duo persisted and her calls for peace fell on deaf ear. She is now appealing to the alleged murderer to hand himself over to the police.

“Where would he go? He doesn’t even have a phone for me to contact him, all I want him to know is that he should turn himself into the police station and behave, it is not like him to behave like this,” the mother of nine lamented.”
