Prisoner charged with murder of fellow inmate at Lusignan Prison
A man originally held for robbery was on Friday charged with the murder of his fellow inmate at the Lusignan Prison.
Anthony Prince, 23, who was awaiting trial for murder, was fatally stabbed during a dispute with Shamar Davis, also known as “Stamma” from B Field, Sophia, Greater Georgetown.
The altercation took place in their shared cell on March 30. A month later, Davis appeared before Magistrate Orinthia Schmidt at the Vigilance Magistrate’s Court, where he was remanded until June.
It was reported that on the day in question, the men were in their block when an argument erupted between them over suspicions of infidelity involving their girlfriends.
Davis claims to have noticed Prince holding what seemed to be a makeshift weapon, prompting him to punch him and cause a fatal wound to his neck.
Prison authorities were alerted, and Prince was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he was pronounced dead upon arrival.
