A man was killed in front of his family in Gales Point Village yesterday evening. Randy Bowen, a father of 3 girls, was killed by the boyfriend of one of his daughters.
Jomarie Lanza spoke to his mother today:
He was murdered inside his own home here in Gales Point Village. 39 year old Randy Bowen, a father to 3 girls, had reportedly gotten into an argument with his step daughter's boyfriend, 23 year old George Smith on Wednesday evening, resulting in his fatal stabbing. His mother says that her son's second eldest child alerted her to what had transpired at their house.

"I was a home it was my little granddaughter the second one called me and said granny please come, come help my Pa and bring somebody she said because they hurt my dad so I asked who hurt your dad?"
"They stabbed my dad and he's on the ground and so I hurry ran and went without my slippers. And when I went there I met my son on the ground but they looked like they had already tampered with him already because it had a dressing on the ground close to the body and you know if someone stabs you you'll see the blood but it looked like they had cleaned off all the blood and everything off him so I think they should hold her for questioning too."
"I don't like how they chanced my son out of his life. You know I wasn't there to see what happened but only the woman and daughter know and I think the police should question her too."
According to a police report, the men had gotten into a heated argument - and Smith ended up stabbing Bowen in the left side of his chest- killing him almost instantly - and in front of his family.
Shortly after, Smith turned himself into police - and they also recovered the alleged murder weapon - a pocket knife.
Bowen worked as a watchman at White Ridge Farm, and had decided to come home since yesterday was a holiday. His mother says that was the last time she saw him, and he didn't mention to her that he was having issues or problems with his step daughter's boyfriend.

"No he never told me that he had problems because the young man who stabbed him doesn't even live here. You know it's his step daughters boyfriend."
"Yesterday was a holiday so he came in and he was out here but when I left from here I don't even know what time he left and that's when I got the call cause when he comes he usually stays downstairs watching tv with my son."
"I'm very sad and heartbroken it just breaks my heart to see my grandchildren cry my granddaughters they cried it's so sad."
"My son, he was a lively person, he likes to dance, he likes to dance and he was loved by the whole village regardless of what."
Smith remains detained pending charges. Notably, this is the first murder in Gales Point village that we have reported on in at least 5 years.
