posted (May 20, 2019)
A 70 year old man from Carmelita village was stabbed at his home last night. It happened at around 8:00 when the senior citizen was standing in his doorway. He was saved by a pastor who found him bleeding out on the side of a dirt road. Police told us more:...

ACP Joseph Myvett, Head, National Crimes Investigation Branch
"What we know so far is that shortly after 8p.m., neighbours were called to the area of Mr. Chuc's home where he was seen with those stab wounds and apparently assisted in transporting him to the Northern Regional Hospital. He has since been transferred to the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital where he remains in a critical condition. So far, we do not have any credible leads and we are seeking the public's assistance in trying to solve this matter."

"Have police been able to determine what led to the stabbing?"

ACP Joseph Myvett
"No, because of the fact that he lives alone and the area that he lives was kind of dark. However, we did gather some information that he previously worked as a watchman for a school in that area and was previously attacked. So we are also following on that information."

Chuc remains in critical condition.
