A MAN in his mid 30s was stabbed to death during a heated argument with another man at a food stall on Potter’s Cay Dock yesterday.
#While police have not officially released his identity, relatives at the scene said he was Vaughn-Handlin “Henny” Brown.
#He worked at a popular stall and frequented the area during his off time.
#The Tribune understands he was a resident in the Shirley Street area.
#Police said last night that a 31-year-old man was in their custody in connection with the murder, which brings the country’s homicide toll to 55 for the year according to The Tribune’s records.
#Police reported that shortly after 1.30pm, a man was involved in an argument with another man at the dock that resulted in him being stabbed in his body.
#Brown, police said, was then rushed to hospital, where he later died of his injuries.
#A police source said the murder was the result of a spat between two men who were heavily influenced by alcohol.
#Several people who knew the victim from the area gathered. Some were seen wiping tears from their eyes as they looked on in disbelief.
#A woman, who did not want to be named, identified herself as a family friend and said she was shocked to learn of Brown’s death. She told The Tribune he was a friendly, helpful individual.
#“I watched him grow up,” she said, “you might as well say I helped raise that boy. I am so shocked right now to know he died out here like this. I can’t believe it. He was a people’s person working right out here. This is sad that he went this way.”
