The old year ended with bloodshed and the new year began with bloodshed in St. Lucia.
Approximately 18 hours after the fatal shooting of a young man in Castries on Dec. 31, 2013, another incident is keeping the lawmen busy – just 14 hours into the New Year.
Reports are that a man’s right hand was severed by a masked attacker about 2 pm today in Au Leon, Dennery. The victim was reportedly in the company of some people by the road, opposite a bar, when the attack was launched.
“A masked man came and attack a man in the Au Leon gap and ran away,” a resident of the area said.
Police currently have one man assisting with investigations.
