American man stabbed to death
An American man was bound with duct tape and stabbed to death at his home on Freeport, Grand Bahama, on Friday night, police said.
According to police, a Caucasian man, who is believed to be in his 40s, was found inside his home on Albacore Drive, off Midshipman Road, around 10 p.m.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Emrick Seymour, officer in charge of Grand Bahama and the Northern District, told The Nassau Guardian that the victim’s dog was also stabbed to death.
Emergency medical services personnel transported the victim to the Rand Memorial Hospital, but he died shortly after arriving, police said.
Seymour said the man, who had not been identified, lived on the island for several years.
He called the incident unusual and said police were investigating the matter very closely, noting that police revisited the scene on Saturday.
However, police did not know the motive for the murder, and had no one in custody up to yesterday evening.
Asked whether the victim was tortured, Seymour said, “I really don’t want to speculate until the investigation would be able to conclude any and every possibility.”
This is the first recorded murder for Grand Bahama for the year, and the ninth for the country.
Another incident involving a stabbing death on New Providence has not yet been classified.
