Police are investigating the stabbing death of a homeless man who was identified only as “Santana” on Henry Street, Port-of-Spain, early yesterday.
According to police reports, pedestrians noticed the body of the man around 5 am on the sidewalk near the Telecommunications Services of T&T (TSTT) building.
Officers of the Port-of-Spain CID were called in and cordoned off the area.
Police said they were told that the man had an altercation with another homeless man and was stabbed in the chest.
Investigators say they intend to review closed circuit television cameras to help with their investigations.
The murder toll now stands at 286, whereas the figure for the same period last year was 294. (Jensen La Vende)
