“During the said time, the victim (Hilliman) went into the KFC outlet to visit his reputed wife, and, after he observed what was happening, he told the suspect to desist from interfering with his wife,” the police said in a release.

According to the police, a heated argument ensued between the men who both armed themselves with knifes and left the KFC outlet
The duo headed East between Longden and Croal Streets, and Frank allegedly stabbed Hilliman to the left of his chest.
The victim walked a short distance and fell while Frank made good his escape on foot in a southern direction.

The victim was picked up by public-spirited citizens and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
The incident was caught on CCTV cameras in the area, which led to Frank’s arrest. He reportedly cut off his ‘locs’ in an attempt to alter his appearance.
