On Tuesday morning, twenty year old, Magellan Joseph, of Lewis Street, Vieux Fort, was allegedly stabbed in the abdomen by two assailants.
The incident occurred at a beach party at the Coastline, Sandy Beach sometime about 2 am. He is said to be in stable condition at hospital. There was reportedly a disagreement between Joseph’s friends and the two assailants. Relatives say the men may have attacked Joseph because he was in the company of his friends on the beach. The victim’s sister said stab wounds to her brother’s intestine caused internal bleeding, but a four-hour surgery on Tuesday was successful. Police have launched an investigation into the matter. One person has been taken into police custody.
