The wife of a BK International employee who was stabbed to death in `C’ Field, Sophia on Saturday night is calling on the police for a speedy investigation into her husband’s killing.
The police are now investigating the murder of Trevor Dublin, 49, of Lot 385, C Field Sophia whose body was found on Saturday night on the C Field, Sophia Access Road with a lone stab wound to the left side of his chest.
According to a police statement, Dublin’s body was found at about 10.15 on Saturday night by police ranks who were on patrol through the Sophia area. The body is at the Lyken’s Funeral Home awaiting a post-mortem examination.
The press release also revealed that a knife and a toque were found in close proximity to the body and an E Field Sophia resident is in custody assisting with the investigation.
When Stabroek News visited the home of the deceased, his wife, Nadia Dublin said that she hopes the police find the killer and brings him to justice. Nadia said that she last saw her husband alive, on Saturday afternoon, after he came in from work. She said that he helped cooked food for her as she was ill and in bed. The grieving wife said that her husband was in their home quarreling that someone on the road had sprayed a substance in his eyes. She said she tried her best to calm him down but he later left the yard heading towards the Sophia Access Road. Nadia said she later put on her long boots to go behind him but by the time she made it to the access road he was nowhere to be seen.
“After I ain’t see he I beg a boy with a bicycle through the street, to ride up and see if he see me husband anyway”, the wife said. She added that after she solicited the young man’s help, a police van drove past her with persons inside but she said she took it for nothing. “When the police van fly pass me, I start to call my husband phone and no reply, no answer” she said. Nadia said it was not until 10:00 pm she decided to retry her husband’s number and a woman answer and told her to come down to the Georgetown Hospital Accident and Emergency Ward. “I say man I can’t come down now, I’ll come down early in the morning”. She added that early the next morning the police called her to inform her that Dublin had died and she was needed at the station to make a statement.
The wife explained that she does not know who killed her husband, she said that she does not know if it is the same person who sprayed her husband’s eyes or if it was someone else he was in an argument with. Nadia said that no one in the community has told her anything regarding the circumstances which led to the death of Dublin.
The residents in the area where the body was found remain tight-lipped as to what had transpired.
Nadia explained to Stabroek News, that her husband was the sole breadwinner in their family. She described Dublin as a very hard-working man and a man who would protect his family. He had been an employee at BK International for eight years. Dublin leaves to mourn his wife and five children.
