And before the Bella Vista murder, there was the fatal stabbing in Orange Walk, except that's been downgraded from possible murder to a case of self defense. The ComPol told us today that the deceased, Alwyn Arnold, was the aggressor in this case. He taunted and chased the man who killed him, who responded by stabbing him. But what started the altercation? Williams gave us the details:
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"We have that person in custody and the persons that were with him when the incident occurred and indeed Alwyn Arnold was the aggressor. The victim was walking in the company of two hispanic women and Alwyn Arnold shouted out to him that he's a Spanish, he can't handle the two women and the young man answered and Alwyn chased him for whatever reason and there was a scuffle, the young man was able to get away and he was chased again by Alwyn who caught up with him and that's when the young man inflicted the stab wound to Alwyn so by all indications, he's the aggressor so we have put together the file and we have submitted it to the DPP office for guidance on that matter."
Just before news time, Williams confirmed that as per the DPP's instruction, there will be no charges levied against the man who killed Arnold.
