Saturday, 8th July 2017

The Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda is looking into a stabbing incident that left one young man dead.

Jalon Thompson, 27, was killed in the early hours of Thursday. Police are reporting that the death may be connected to an ongoing feud.

Grays Farm resident Prince Charming Graham, 28, has been taken into custody as police investigate.

The pair “apparently had an ongoing feud over some previous incident, which took place at the popular Jam Dung Night Club on Lower Nevis Street,” police said.

“It is further alleged that around 3.35am on Thursday, they both got into a fight and Graham armed himself with a sharp object, which he used to inflict a stab wound to the deceased chest.”

Thompson was taken to Mount St John’s Medical Centre, where we was pronounced dead an hour after arrival.

Graham was treated for minor injuries before being discharged to the police.
