59-year-old stabbing victim dies

A 59-year-old man who resides in St John is reported to be Barbados’ latest victim of death in unnatural circumstances.

Unconfirmed reports said that the man, a well-known fish vendor, was in the area of Belleville on Thursday night, when he received stab wounds to his body. He succumbed to his injuries at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital yesterday.

Efforts to get confirmation from the police proved futile. (JS)
