Be­reaved rel­a­tives of a 34-year-old man who was stabbed to death in a bar in San Fer­nan­do on Thurs­day night, say he had “talks” but he was no trou­ble­mak­er.

Ja­son “Hak­ka” Stoute, of Dun­can Vil­lage, was stabbed at least three times and died along Mu­cu­rapo Street af­ter be­ing at­tacked by a man he was ar­gu­ing with.

Stoute was lim­ing at Edge Bar, at the cor­ner of Keate and Mu­cu­rapo Streets, San Fer­nan­do, when he got in­to an ar­gu­ment with the sus­pect. They then left the bar and con­tin­ued ar­gu­ing, dur­ing which time the man stabbed him.

In a brief in­ter­view yes­ter­day, rel­a­tives said Stoute lived alone and was the fa­ther of a six-year-old child. They said Stoute was shot in April near Dun­can Vil­lage but they were un­aware of the cir­cum­stances sur­round­ing that in­ci­dent. How­ev­er, they said he was not liv­ing in fear and they were not wor­ried about his safe­ty.

“He used to drink and give peo­ple talks. But he did not give trou­ble. He had his ways but he was a good guy,” the rel­a­tive said.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors said the sus­pect was still at large.

This was the sec­ond stab­bing at the bar in San Fer­nan­do in two days. On Wednes­day Den­zil Brew­ster, 33, of Princes Town, was stabbed to death fol­low­ing an ar­gu­ment at Lit­tle Las Ve­gas Bar in San Fer­nan­do around 8.30 pm on Wednes­day. An off-du­ty po­lice­man was al­so in­jured.
