(Kaieteur News) – There are tragedies that leave a community stunned. Then there are those that force a nation to confront the depths to which human violence can descend.

The killing of six-year-old Ifeng Cao at Parika is one such tragedy. What makes the circumstances surrounding the child’s death even more difficult to comprehend is the allegation that his life was taken in connection with a financial dispute involving his parents. According to information emerging from the investigation, 76-year-old Chinese businessman Quan Sheng Li has reportedly confessed to killing the child following a dispute over approximately US$3 million. Police have reportedly recovered a brown-handled chopper which the suspect allegedly used in the killing.
