Man stabbed to death

INVESTIGATIONS continued yesterday into a stabbing incident on Sunday night which left a Nelson Street, Port-of-Spain man dead.

According to reports, around 6.30 pm. Kerwin Joseph, 24, a tenant of one of the apartments at Nelson Street, was seen arguing with and slapping a female relative. A short time later, the two went into Joseph’s apartment where the shouting continued. When Joseph’s neighbours saw the female resident leave the apartment with blood on her clothes and in company with her two children, they became suspicious and went to check on Joseph.

They  saw him lying dead in a pool of blood on the floor of the apartment. A report was made to Besson Street police. Visiting the scene were Supt Stephen Addison, Insp Manswell, Insp Ramnarine, Sgts Creighton Hudson and Randolph Boyce. Police have since detained a young woman in connection with the stabbing of Joseph whose alias was “Sprang”. Investigators are expected to visit the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) today to await further instructions. Sgt Randolph Boyce of Besson Street CID is continuing investigations.
