Leon Ritchie

Investigations into the murder of Canal Number One teen Leon Anthony Ritchie who was stabbed over a $440 debt, are winding down and police are awaiting advice on the laying of charges, says Commander of ‘D’ Division, Leslie James.

Ritchie, 17, was reportedly stabbed to death on Tuesday by his 16-year-old cousin, marking the end of a two-week feud that was said to have stemmed from a falling out over a $440 loan.
