POLICE are investigating two separate deaths—a Cuban national found lifeless in his home and a 34-year-old man who succumbed to gunshot injuries sustained earlier this month.

In the first incident, an adult Cuban national was discovered unresponsive at a residence on Willet Street, Eastern Estates, around 4pm on Saturday.

He was found with visible injuries and had reportedly not been seen by neighbours for several days. Emergency Medical Services were called to the scene, but pronounced him dead.

Police have classified the death as suspicious and are investigating how he sustained his injuries and whether foul play was involved.

In the second incident, police confirmed that a 34-year-old man died in hospital on Friday, nearly a week after being shot.

The shooting took place around 10.30am on Sunday, February 2, near East Street South and Malcolm Road. Despite medical treatment, the victim did not survive.

His death brings the country’s murder count to ten for the year, according to The Tribune’s records.

Police have also reported a man was stabbed in an incident on Saturday at Cowpen Road after 4pm. 

Police said two men got into an argument which turned physical, leaving one man stabbed in the abdomen. 

He was taken to hospital and was listed in serious condition. A 29-year-old man was arrested at the scene.
