St. Elizabeth, Jamaica — A 14-year-old boy has been charged with the stabbing death of his brother, Raheem Thompson, following an altercation at their home in St. Elizabeth.
Police reports indicate that around 9:50 p.m. on Friday, October 10, the accused and two other relatives were at home when an argument escalated into a fight between him and Raheem.
During the confrontation, the boy reportedly brandished a knife and inflicted a wound to Raheem’s chest. Another family member intervened to separate them, but Raheem went outside shortly after, collapsed, and was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The accused was subsequently apprehended and placed at a juvenile centre. On Tuesday, October 14, he was formally charged in the presence of his mother.
His court date is currently being finalised as investigations continue.
