56-y-o charged with murder, wounding with intent

Fifty-six-year-old Clive Lawrence, a vehicle inspector of Love Lane, Kingston has been charged with murder and wounding with intent after he allegedly stabbed a man to death, and injured another in April.

Lawrence had reportedly fled the murder scene and was on the run until yesterday when he handed himself over to the police in the company of his attorney.

Lawrence is charged with the murder of Anton Stephens.

According to the police, about 8:10 p.m. Lawrence and a woman (who is a relative of Stephens) were involved in a dispute while travelling in a Toyota Probox motor car.

The pair reportedly arrived at Charles Street, where the woman allegedly exited the vehicle and ran into the yard.

Lawrence allegedly chased her with a knife.

Stephens, who was in the yard at the time, intervened and insisted that Lawrence leave his premises. However, Lawrence allegedly stabbed Stephens several times.

Another man who came to the assistance of Stephens also received stab wounds.

He was charged after a question-and-answer interview.

His court date is being finalised.
