A MAN who visited his girlfriend in Sophia on Saturday evening was stabbed to death after the girl’s family did not approve of the relationship.
Dead is Devon Xavier, 20, of La Penitence Street, Albouystown.

Reports are that Xavier was visiting his girlfriend at Sophia, Greater Georgetown, when she suddenly instructed him to leave as her father and cousin approached.
Police said the relatives were not in favour of the relationship.

When the father and cousin approached, the father reportedly told the young lady to go into the house.
The girlfriend told investigators that she saw when her cousin grabbed Xavier and stabbed him in the chest.

The cousin then made good his escape, while Xavier collapsed to the ground.
The body was subsequently examined by a doctor from the Alberttown Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT), and the young man was pronounced dead.

Police said efforts were made to locate the suspect but with no success. The father of the girlfriend is currently in custody assisting with the investigations.
