Kiran Herman is in critical condition.
A man is currently in critical condition at hospital after sustaining stab wounds in Bishop Gap, Marchand, Castries this morning.
The victim, Kiran Herman, 29, of Bishop’s Gap, was stabbed by someone well-known to him at about 7:30 a.m.
Kiran’s cousin, Leah Herman, told St. Lucia News Online (SNO) that the suspect slapped Keiran’s cousin, Natalie Herman, during a dispute.
Kiran came to his cousin’s aid and parted the fight, Leah added.
The cousin further reported that the suspect left the scene and returned later with a “ratchet” knife and proceeded to stab Kiran in the abdomen and under his arm.
Leah said the stabbing was pre-meditated and she hopes her cousin pulls through as he is now “battling for his life”.
Kiran, an employee of the Ministry of Infrastructure, is the father of a three-year-old daughter.
The suspect is also well-known to police and was the victim of a shooting in Hospital Road, Castries early 2013.
