Four Grenadian fishermen accused of fatally stabbing J'can man appear in court

ST GEORGE’S, Grenada, CMC – Four fishermen appeared in a magistrate’s court today for the murder of Jamaican national Norman Power, a food truck vendor who was stabbed to death last week.

The men, 23-year-old Anthony Chase, 25-year-old Rafeem Andrew, 33-year-old Clint Toussaint and 23-year-old Tyrone Francis, all from the west coast village of Grand Roy, reportedly killed the 52-year-old Jamaican over a dispute with the sale of jerk chicken.

The police said the Jamaican, better known as “Yardie”, was operating his mobile business close to the National Stadium on the outskirts of the capital when he got into an altercation with the men over the price of the chicken.

Media reports said one of the men became upset when told that the chicken was being sold for EC$10, instead of the EC$5 they had.

Eyewitnesses said during the melee, Power was stabbed and he was taken to the General Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The men, who have been remanded into custody, were not called upon to plead to the indictable offence.
