Nathan Chassang and Davia Michelle Hypolite in happier times.
A man accused of stabbing his girlfriend in Monchy, Gros-Islet around noon yesterday and who later consumed a poisonous substance has been confirmed dead.
Nathan Chassang, aka Shawn, 33, of Monchy died this morning at the Victoria Hospital.
He was taken to hospital on Wednesday after consuming the poisonous substance.
The woman he stabbed, Davia Michelle Hypolite, who spoke with St. Lucia News Online (SNO) from her hospital bed this morning, said doctors informed her of his death.
Asked how she feels, Hypolite said, “It is what it is. I’m not the one to be blamed. I did not ask him to drink the gramoxone.”
The 19-year-old woman who was stabbed several times in her back told SNO that Chassang made several attempts to drink the poison on Wednesday morning, and had already mixed it with cold water and bitters.
The woman said she was constantly abused by him and had decided to end the relationship, something he said couldn’t happen and was not ready to deal with.
“I went and tell his grandmother, look Shawn want to drink poison and I left. When I went back in the house that is when I was stabbed,” she explained.
Chassang leaves to mourn his 11-year-old son from a different relationship.
