On Thursday morning this week a 16-year-old female allegedly stabbed to death Marlie Williams (also known as “Moon Head”) of Gros Islet. The incident reportedly occurred on Marina Street, a particularly distressed area. Residents claim Williams had been in an altercation with the female the previous day. The girl recently completed her last term in secondary school and it was unconfirmed whether she graduated.
Williams celebrated his 26th birthday on Tuesday this week. He was unemployed but residents say that he was dedicated to his family. Neighbours old and young have described him as a genial individual. “He always stopped to greet me, no matter what,” reminisced one elderly woman. “I hope this doesn’t cause some kind of war in the area; he had a lot of friends.”
Via TV, constituency representative Lenard Montoute urged community members to play their part in curbing youth violence. At press time the police had issued no statement on the homicide.
