Murder and mayhem in The Bahamas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Anthonique Hunt, a 20-year-old woman from Bougainvillea Avenue, became the country’s latest murder victim when she was stabbed to death during a domestic dispute yesterday in her own home.<\/p>\n

Today would have been her 21st birthday.<\/p>\n

Police are still unsure of the details surrounding Ms Hunt’s untimely death, however, officers have questioned a 40-year-old man of Prison Lane in connection to her murder. The suspect was booked at the East Street South Police Station.<\/p>\n

Police say they received a call around 11:30am Wednesday morning notifying them that a young woman had been murdered.<\/p>\n

When officers arrived at the scene, they found the body of a young woman stabbed in the chest, lying in a pool of blood on the bedroom floor. Ms Hunt was pronounced dead at the scene by EMS personnel.<\/p>\n

Police superintendent Stephen Dean encourages those in abusive relationships to report domestic violence to the police. According to Mr Dean, a lack of “conflict resolution skills” is the root cause in most of the situations that escalate into violence.<\/p>\n

“No one has the right to abuse you, no one has the right to take advantage of you, it is a criminal offense,” Mr Dean said to a reporter from The Tribune. “I don’t care if it is your husband, your wife, or your dearest friend. It is a criminal offense.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
