"Why you did this to me?"

These were the words of An­tho­ny Wil­son mo­ments af­ter he was stabbed by a man whom he al­lowed to live with him his house, be­fore he suc­cumbed to his in­juries.

The mur­der oc­curred around 12:15 am on Fri­day, No­vem­ber 18.

The sus­pect, who came out of prison ear­li­er this year, es­caped af­ter at­tack­ing the el­der­ly man's care­tak­er Eliz­a­beth Al­la­me­ny.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors said Wil­son, 63, died from a sin­gle stab wound to the chest short­ly af­ter mid­night.

The sus­pect had been liv­ing with Wil­son and Al­la­me­ny at For­est Re­serve, Fyz­abad, in a con­crete and wood­en house in­side a gat­ed area owned by Her­itage Pe­tro­le­um.

Po­lice said Al­la­me­ny, 48, re­port­ed that around 12:15 am she was in her bed­room when she heard a com­mo­tion out­side.

When she went to in­ves­ti­gate, she saw the sus­pect stand­ing near Wil­son, who was cov­ered in blood.

Al­la­me­ny rushed to help but the sus­pect snatched her by the neck and pulled her away. She man­aged to fight him off and run away.

The sus­pect al­so fled with the mur­der weapon.

Wil­son, who was wear­ing a pair of black shorts, was sit­ting on the couch bleed­ing from the chest.

Of­fi­cers led by In­sp Roland Ram­lo­gan, Sgt Ri­car­do Ban­mal­ley, Sgt Dhans­ingh, and WPCs Si­mon and La Rode vis­it­ed the scene.

Al­la­me­ny was tak­en to the San Fer­nan­do Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal where she was treat­ed and dis­charged.

Dis­trict Med­ical Of­fi­cer Dr Nali­ni Ma­haraj viewed the body and or­dered it re­moved to the Foren­sic Sci­ence Cen­tre.
