Man stabbed to death in bar -childhood friend in custody

Kurtland KendallA 28-year-old man was stabbed to death late Tuesday night while in a popular bar on D’Urban Street, Lodge by a man he had an old grievance with.

Dead is Kurtland Kendall of 71 Hill Street, Lodge. His attacker was arrested at his home, located a short distance from the bar, by the police minutes after the incident.

It is unclear exactly what transpired between the two that night but persons close to the dead man believe that it had to do with a heated altercation they had sometime late last year. They, however, could not provide any information on what sparked that altercation. This newspaper understands that since that incident, the suspect would always throw remarks at Kendall.
