A MAN was stabbed to death outside the Progressive Liberal Party's Yamacraw constituency office last night.
Police press liaison officer Assistant Superintendent Audley Peters told reporters on the scene that the victim is in his late 30s and is a well-known resident of the community.
#At the scene, Zane Lightbourne, the PLP’s Yamacraw candidate, did not want to disclose the deceased’s name publicly, but revealed he was a campaign worker.
#However, sources told The Tribune that the victim is Kendrick Cambridge.
#ASP Peters explained that shortly after 7pm, police received reports of a stabbing incident that occurred on Antigua Street, Elizabeth Estates. He said it appeared that an argument led to the stabbing and that the victim knew his attacker.
#A man is in custody helping police with their investigation.
