Teen fatally stabbed after intervening in domestic dispute

 

A mother of seven is calling for justice after her son was stabbed to death on Saturday evening during an effort to save his neighbour from being physically abused by her reputed husband at a shop at Yarrowkabra, Linden-Soesdyke Highway.
Dead is 19-year-old Nyron Vyphuis, a handyman of Circuitville, Yarrowkabra.
According to information reaching Guyana Times, about 19:30h on Saturday evening, the now dead teen was at a liquor shop in the area owned by Anthony Jones.
However, the owner of the shop was imbibing with friends and suddenly started to abuse his spouse. The young man, upon realising what was happening, intervened and attempted to stop him from harming the woman.
At this time, Jones got annoyed and left, but he returned with an axe. The weapon

was eventually taken from him by other persons who were at the shop.
However, the furious man went into his home and again armed himself, this time with a knife which he used to attack and stab the teenager. The teen, in an effort to escape, ran a short distance, but collapsed to the ground as blood gushed profusely from the wound.
Friends of the teenager alerted his family members, who rushed to the scene where they found his lifeless body lying in a clump of bushes. The Police were contacted and the suspect was taken into custody while the teen’s body was removed from the scene.
When this publication visited the home of the teen, family members as well as friends were all in tears as they tried to comfort each other.
The dead teen’s cousin, Annette Smith told this newspaper that she last saw him alive about 15:30h on Saturday. The two of them had a conversation concerning the construction of his house.
“About 3:30, the carpenter that does work with him on the house come by me to call for him, so I said ‘Nyron is not at home, but I could go and find him where he deh’. So, I go through the track and I say ‘Nyron, the workman ready for you’ and he left and he come home,” she stated.
The stabbing, she related, stemmed from an argument between the owner of the shop and his reputed wife. She explained that the woman came home and saw her spouse “drinking” with another female.
“She was annoyed and she row with the man, the man get up to beat she and is then Nyron say ‘Anthony, man, you can’t beat Aunty Lexie’ and Nyron hold on to

“It had a big man went there, he take away the axe from he. And he run in the house and bring out the kitchen knife and he stab Nyron straight on his left shoulder, straight in his heart … two boys come call for me and seh ‘Aunty Annie, Nyron just get stab up and he deh bad through the track’.”
In tears, she stated that her cousin was already dead and lying face down when they arrived.
The distraught mother of the teen, Vanessa Harry stated, “They murdered my son. I am feeling a lot of pain right now and all I need for my son is justice, because he is only 19 and he’s my second son.”
Guyana Times understands that the now dead teen’s father, Patrick Vyphuis, was brutally murdered in the interior about three months ago, but no one was arrested or charged with the heinous crime.
The teen leaves to mourn his mother and six siblings along with other family members. The teen’s body is presently at the Lyken Funeral Home where it awaits a post-mortem. (Leah Hernandez)

Guyanese don't have control when they are sober much less when they are drunk. Any good samaritan trying to intervene is a dead man. If he killed a good man with a knife, what was he going to do with the ax if he had used it? Everything is being blamed on rum and people still drink rum like water. Yuji, that rum shop look like a cake shop. You see what friendly rum drinking can do to Guyanese? Is your countrymen them ah run mad with cheap, white rum.
