In Guyana, a 28-year-old DJ was hacked to death on Sunday night.
According to the Guyana Police Force (GPF), three men entered a tavern in Laluni Village on the Soesdyke Linden Highway where Brian Pitam, known DJ Viper, was with his father-in-law Kumar Bacchus when Bacchus was attacked.
Pittam stepped in, and he received multiple chops all over his body.
He was taken by bystanders to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, where doctors there immediately declared him dead. Police reported that Pittam had suffered a serious chop wound to the back of his neck and had lost three fingers.
One of the three attackers has been detained by police.
