Police are investigating the alleged murder of 25-year-old Ricardo Thompson, a construction worker of Meten-Meer-Zorg, West Coast Demerara (WCD).
According to a statement from the Guyana Police Force (GPF), Thompson and his reputed wife had a misunderstanding on Friday April 10, 2026, after which she went to her parents’ home at De Willem, WCD.
Thompson allegedly proceeded to the same address and at about 03:00hrs on Saturday, April 11, 2026, he was found lying motionless on the stairs.
