Barbadian authorities are investigating two separate fatal stabbings that occurred within a devastating 48-hour timeframe in St. Michael parish, highlighting concerns over a surge in violent crime. The most recent homicide transpired on Monday evening along Review Road in the Bush Hall area. According to official reports from the District ‘A’ Police Station, the victim was seated roadside at approximately 7:15 p.m. when he was approached by a group of individuals. A subsequent physical altercation erupted, culminating in the man being fatally stabbed. Emergency medical services were dispatched to the location, where a attending physician formally pronounced the victim deceased. This tragic incident follows another lethal confrontation that occurred merely a day earlier. On Sunday afternoon, a 39-year-old man identified as Andy Rudolph Arthur lost his life following a dispute outside a commercial establishment on 3rd Avenue, Station Hill. Police were alerted to an unnatural death around 2:30 p.m. Preliminary investigations indicate Arthur sustained injuries during the altercation, collapsed onsite, and was declared dead after ambulance personnel failed to detect vital signs. The Barbados Police Service has launched parallel investigations into both cases and is urgently appealing to the public for assistance. Authorities are encouraging individuals with any relevant information to come forward anonymously via the Crime Stoppers Hotline (1-800-8477), contact the Police Emergency line at 211, or reach out directly to the District ‘A’ Police Station at 430-7242 or 430-7246.
