On the evening of May 3, a shocking incident took place in Bottom Village, All Saints. A 44-year-old man returned home at around 8:20 p.m. and confronted his 15-year-old daughter and son regarding their failure to do the laundry.

The story was first spotted in Real News, which reported that this led to a heated argument that escalated into a violent confrontation, leaving the father injured.

According to the police reports, during the altercation, both children used a sharp object to inflict wounds on their father.

The man sustained injuries to his left leg and the left side of his head. Medical assistance was immediately sought, and the man was rushed to Sir Lester Bird Medical Center for treatment.

Despite immediate efforts, the children could not be located following the incident, and authorities are still investigating the circumstances that led to this violent confrontation.

The event has left the community in shock, with one mother commenting on the deeper societal issues reflected by such family violence.

She referenced biblical prophecy, suggesting that these events could be indicative of ‘terrible times’ forecast in 2 Timothy 3, where disobedience to parents and unholiness are mentioned as signs of societal decay.

The incident highlights the urgent need for interventions that address youth behavior and work to curb rising trends of violence among young people.

  1. This morning another media house published this story. If you going to take the high road and complain of them stealing your stories then you shouldn’t do the same. You so called media houses are a disgrace.
