A man was shot dead at a gold concession in the Snesi Bergi area of Suriname on Friday afternoon. The suspected gunman fled the scene immediately and is still being sought. Early information points to an argument between the suspect and several other people before the shots were fired. The suspect, described as a gold digger himself, then suddenly pulled out a weapon and opened fire. Gold concessions in the country's interior often sit far from the nearest police post, which slows any response. The manhunt continues as police try to establish exactly what triggered the confrontation. Waterkant was the first outlet to report the killing.
