A 31-year-old man found with knife wounds was taken to Queen’s Medical Centre but died in hospital.

Pastor Clive Foster, senior minister at the Pilgrim Church, close to where the incident took place, appealed for calm.

“This bloodshed and destruction of families within our community has to stop.”
