Unidentified man chopped, stabbed to death in Diego Martin

Po­lice are try­ing to iden­ti­fy a man, be­lieved to be a Venezue­lan na­tion­al, who was chopped and stabbed to death dur­ing an al­ter­ca­tion in Diego Mar­tin on Sun­day morn­ing.

Of­fi­cers from the West End Po­lice Sta­tion re­ceived a re­port around 6:30 am of a body in an apart­ment in Green Hill Vil­lage and went to the scene.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors were told that four Venezue­lan men lived in the two-storey build­ing that housed the apart­ment where the body was found.

Re­ports are that an ar­gu­ment broke out among the men, and dur­ing the al­ter­ca­tion, one of the men was at­tacked and sus­tained chop and stab wounds.

The at­tack­er fled the scene and re­mained on the run up to 3 pm on Sun­day.

A dis­trict med­ical of­fi­cer lat­er vis­it­ed the lo­ca­tion and pro­nounced the man dead.

Of­fi­cers from the Re­gion I Homi­cide Bu­reau are con­tin­u­ing en­quiries.
