Sabina Justin and her husband, Pascal Justin, were looking forward to a sunset cruise on Friday to celebrate their wedding anniversary when his fatal stabbing brought a tragic end to their plan.
The couple would have been married for twenty-seven years on the following day.
However, tragedy struck on Wednesday.
The Royal Saint Lucia Police Force (RSLPF) said at about 7:00 pm, Dennery Police Station officers learned that Pascal sustained chest wounds during an altercation and was conveyed to the Dennery Hospital.
The La Pointe, Dennery, resident who was the father of five children, later succumbed.
Police have since arrested a twenty-four-year-old male from the same community in connection with the Island’s 60th homicide.
The deceased’s wife, Sabina, told reporters that her husband was well-known and a good man in the community who did not look for trouble with anyone.
She recalled that when he was not at home at the usual time, assuming he was buying bait to go fishing the next day, she telephoned him and heard that he was on his way.
Sabina tearfully recalled that they would quibble over which one loved the other more, eventually agreeing that they both loved each other equally.
The distraught wife also recounted that her husband had asserted that only death would break their marriage.
“So said, so done,” Sabina lamented.
