An ongoing dispute between some Coalmine men ended in one person being fatally chopped on Monday night.

Sheldon Ramdhan , a 32-year-old chicken depot operator, of Cunapo Southern Main Road, Coalmine, was pronounced dead on arrival at Sangre Grande District hospital after being chopped once on his neck by man he had a dispute with.

Police said a suspect, wanted for questioning, gave himself up late yesterday.

Police said Ramdhan’s death was a result of on-going altercations since 2014.

Reports said around 8.30 pm on Monday a man threw a piece of lighted cigarette on the vehicle in which Ramdhan’s relative were occupants.

This, police said, resulted in a dispute between Ramdhan and the man. According to police, shortly after the argument Ramdhan went to the home of the man to pacify the situation.

Police said, however, there was another quarrel during which Ramdhan was chopped. The man claimed to police that he was protecting his family from Ramdhan.

One of the neighbours, who recognised Ramdhan, reported the matter to the police.

A 26-year-old man, of Palmiste Drive , Coalmine, accompanied by his younger brothers, went to the Arima Police Station and gave himself up. He was handed over to Homicide officers, Arouca, Region 11. The killing of Ramdhan takes the total of murder toll to 244 for the year.
