CHARLESTOWN, Nevis – THE twin-island Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis has recorded its 18th homicide for the year with the early morning killing of a man believed to be a native of the Dominican Republic.

According to Sergeant Alonzo Carty of the Criminal Investigation Department in Nevis, police are investigating the death of 58-year-old Alexander Nisbett of New Castle, whose body was discovered by passers-by this morning at about 6:00 in the vicinity of Claude Nisbett’s shop in Shaw’s Road.

SGT Carty informed that the body bore a number of stab wounds and the passers-by had reported the matter to the New Castle Police Station. He also stated that a man was in custody assisting police with their investigations.~~Adz:Right~~

Informed sources told this media house that Nisbett’s head, neck and shoulders were severely slashed, and may have resulted from a family feud involving one of his nephews. However, up to the time of the posting of this article, SKNVibes was unable to confirm this information.

Nisbett’s death marks the fourth homicide committed on Nevis for the year and the 18th for the Federation, which have surpassed the total murders for last year (16) and those of the previous year (17).
