A young male who sustained a stab wound succumbed after Saint Lucia Fire Service (SLFS) personnel rushed him to the OKEU Hospital on Wednesday.
Police have identified the deceased as Kyle Sylvester.
Emergency personnel responded after receiving a call for assistance at Rose Hill, Castries, at 12:34 pm and found that the eighteen-year-old had sustained a stab wound to the area of his ribs.
A doctor at the OKEU Hospital later pronounced him dead.
The death occurred less than 24 hours after that of 37-year-old Desruisseaux resident Irvin Ferdinand, fatally shot on Tuesday night.
According to the Royal Saint Lucia Police Force (RSLPF), officers from the Micoud Police Station responded to reports of the shooting in Desruisseaux, Micoud, around 9 pm.
Ferdinand, the brother of a police officer, was wounded in the incident and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Another youngster gone to violence in the areas they make ghetto, I remember when they used to be peaceful and living happily but all they follow is fighting with knives for badness, rip to another youngster. Instead people try and fix the violence for the up coming generation it just gets worse and worse everyday.
St. Lucia 758 = lost cause.
Another one bites the dust…
Dear Lord Jesus Christ,
Please help us to walk away from violence .
Please help the nation to heal.
Please protect us and keep us.
Amen
A note to all the prospective gangsters, this is a preview of how your life may end up. And there is a good chance of that when you follow these ways. Sounds harsh but thats the truth.
Another domestic violence incident. According to what I’ve heard this is an incident between brothers. The fact makes it even more sad.
