POLICE are investigating another homicide after a man was found sitting at the top of a building’s stairwell with stab wounds to his body on Wednesday morning.

Press liaison officer Chief Superintendent Chrislyn Skippings said the victim appeared to be in his mid-50s.

She told reporters that it was shortly after 10am when police were alerted to the incident at Boyd Road and Pilgrim Street.

“At present we do not know the circumstances surrounding this particular incident but from the injuries we observed, it can be said that there was a struggle. At this time, I am unable to say who the struggle (was) with – if it was one individual or two people,” CSP Skippings said.

When asked how long the police suspect the victim’s body was in that location, she said: “Could have been possibly no more than maybe four hours.”

While saying she would have to confirm this, CSP Skippings said from all indications the victim is not known to police.

Police are asking anyone that has information that may help this investigation to contact them at the Criminal Investigations Department at 502-9991/2, Crime Stoppers at 328-TIPS (8477) or the nearest police station.
