Dexter Jules, 23, was pronounced dead on arrival at the Georgetown Public Hospital after he was reportedly stabbed three times around the region of his heart.
The Guyana Chronicle understands that Jules, who operated a shop when he was not mining in the interior, was conducting his day-to-day duties in his Sophia shop when his brother, Orin Jules, attempted to take something without asking.
“Orin de want something from de shop, but when Dexter stop he from coming in, he pull out a knife and stab him three times to his heart,” a relative of Jules said.
Further, persons indicated that the perpetrator attempted to run away after committing the act, but was caught and beaten by neighbours, who later turned him over to the police.

Relatives told this publication that prior to this incident, the perpetrator had threatened to kill his family on many occasions and was even dubbed a “miscreant.” These sentiments were shared because of the fact that several reports had already been allegedly filed against him in the past by neighbours and even family members,with whom he was involved in altercations.
His most recent threat to kill his family was allegedly made last week, after he was involved in a discussion about the fact that he was unemployed.
The disgruntled relatives and neighbours described Orin as ungrateful for his actions, because his now dead brother took care of him by providing him with a roof to live under and all the other essentials.
Dexter leaves to mourn his six other siblings, wife and two children.
Orin Jules is expected to be charged with murder this week.
