One day after 24-year-old Shaquille Leacock of ‘C’ Field Sophia, Greater Georgetown was brutally stabbed by two men, he succumbed to his injuries while receiving attention at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
It was reported that on Tuesday at about 17:30h, Leacock was seated on a culvert in the village liming when he was confronted and attacked by two men.
He reportedly attempted to escape his attackers but he was accosted in a yard during which one of the suspects who was armed with a knife dealt him two stab blows – one to his abdomen and another to his left thigh.
The injured young man reportedly ran out of the yard but later collapsed as the two suspects fled the scene. Police added that Leacock who was found lying in a semi-unconscious state was picked up and rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) where he was admitted in a serious condition. He took his last breath on Wednesday evening despite efforts by doctors to save his life.
The police have launched a manhunt for the two suspects.
