A wheelchair-bound man was chopped to death at his MI Trace home, El Socorro, on Thursday. Jason Munroe, who was paralysed after he was shot six years ago, was found by relatives who rushed to his home after receiving a telephone call from his alleged attacker. He was taken to the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex, Mt Hope, where he died at around 8 pm in the Intensive Care Unit after undergoing emergency surgery. Witnesses said Munroe had an argument with a man over a pit bull shortly before the attack.
The suspect allegedly went to Munroe's house, armed with a cutlass, and chopped him several times about the body, then calmly walked down the street with the cutlass dripping with blood. Relatives said when they went to Munroe's home, the furniture and walls were splattered with blood. In an interview at the Forensic Science Centre yesterday, they expressed shock at the violent way in which Munroe's life ended. "He was unarmed and could not move because he is in a wheelchair. "What could he do?" a relative asked. Investigators say an arrest is imminent.
