Glenn Fulford, the teenager stabbed and beaten to death over the weekend at a Nassau nightclub, in his last words told his best, friend: “I am going to die.”
Seconds later, Glenn passed away in front of scores revellers as his killers fled the scene.
The brutal killing took place at Waterloo nightclub on East Bay Street in the early hours of Friday morning. A group of men pounced on him and left him dying in a pool of blood.
Witnesses said the males accosted him near the pool, beat him to the ground and kicked and stomped his body until he was motionless.
In an interview with The Tribune yesterday Maurice Armstrong, best friend of the victim, said that while Glenn was lying on the ground he said, “Boy, I ga die.”
Maurice said he told his friend: “You gat to fight this.” “He nodded his head and told me `yeah’. After that he just started trembling and took his last breath,” said Maurice as he reflected on the tragic end to his friend’s life.
An older brother of the victim claimed Glenn and his friend were pointed out to the killers by a female. He felt the attack was some kind of reprisal.
Terran Fulford, Glenn,’s brother, said he was on Cat Island when he found out about his brother’s death.
When he called Nassau and spoke with his mother, Virginia Fulford, she told him: “They take my baby from us.”
Yesterday, Glenn’s family went to identify his body. Terran said that when he saw Glenn in the morgue, in reality he knew it was him, but he couldn’t come to grips with the fact that it was his brother.
“I have to pass his room to go to my room and I still sometimes feel like he is in there. His room still smells like him, no-one is allowed in that room right now.”
Glenn, 19, was manager of his father’s restaurant and bar ‘Flossie Ruth’, on Joe Farrington Road. He is a graduate of RM Bailey Senior High School and was a member of the school band. He was described as being helpful to both his mother and father.
Terran, remembering his brother’s motivating spirit, said he would encourage other males by “telling them the sky is the limit. If you can’t reach the sky, you would definitely drop on the tree tops. He would also say, God bless the child that has its own. He always had a smile on his face.”
Terran told The Tribune that when the family viewed the body, a police officer said four men were being held for questioning and another suspect was being sought.
Terran said he would want to see justice carried out.
“The government have to start to deal with these criminals and give them some harsh punishment, because they are getting away with plenty. My young brother didn’t deserve to die.
“The youths right now are not how they are supposed to be. This young generation is unruly right now. Everyone just has a gun or knife and are taking lives like it is nothing. They feel that they can get away with it, and that is what is happening,” he said.
He said those who commit such heinous crimes should be hanged.
