Labourer facing murder charge

Twenty-two-year-old labourer Sanjay Hull, otherwise known as 'Dudus', of Maida district, St Ann, has been charged with murder following the stabbing death of a man in their community on August 16.

The deceased has been identified as 28-year-old Asauni Sterling. Reports from the Alexandria police are that at 6 p.m., an argument developed between Sterling and a man. During the confrontation, Hull intervened, brandished a knife and inflicted stab wounds to Sterling's abdomen. The injured man was assisted to hospital, where he died while being treated.

A report was made to the police, and Hull turned himself in to the police in the company of his attorney on Monday. He was charged based on an eyewitness statement, and a question-and-answer session in the presence of his attorney on Wednesday.

His court date is being arranged.
