A 22-year-old man was today discovered dead in Angoy’s Avenue after he was involved in a fight on Friday evening and attacked last evening by relatives of the person who was injured in the earlier altercation.
Dead is Kevin Junior Small, 22, who makes flower pots for a living, of Lot 1154 Patrick Dam, Angoy’s Avenue
His father, Kevin Small, 51, explained, that on Friday evening there was a fight in Patrick Dam where someone sustained chop injuries “and I hear his name was calling in the chop up.”

Small said that early this morning he woke up and called on his son who would usually sleep in the upper flat of their house but received no response, “so I left and I went out with my plant pots to sell and on my way coming back I receive the news that he get chop.”
