Manuel Francis, also known as Sammy, a 28-year-old man of Campbelltown, Mahdia, Region Eight (Potaro-Siparuni) has been stabbed to death by two brothers.
According to information received from one of his relatives, Francis was at a playfield at Princeville when he became involved in an argument with one of the brothers. A scuffle ensued, and another brother joined the fight. During the altercation, one of the brothers struck Francis on the head with a piece of wood, leaving him incapacitated.
Dead: Manuel Francis
“…that lash stunned him, so that gave the other brother enough time to regain strength, and that’s when he drew his knife and stabbed my family. He was working with the same brothers on the same dredge…the brothers’ sister was his boss lady. We don’t know what led to the argument,” the relative said.
Shortly after he had already been stabbed, the other brother reportedly armed himself with a knife, approached Francis, and stabbed him multiple times. Francis succumbed to his injuries shortly after the attack.
“The brothers’ relatives are hiding the story, because after the incident in Princeville, they did not call to inform the family, or contact anyone to provide updates. They just left him there to bleed out and die,” the man’s relative has said. “We want justice for Sammy”.
The Police were notified, and one suspect has been arrested, while the other reportedly fled the scene and remains on the run. Investigations are ongoing. (G9)
