Police have arrested and charged a Beaton, St. David's man with manslaughter following a fatal incident last week. Reports reaching GRENADA TODAY revealed that the accused, Jerrad Evans was taken into police custody in connection with the death of 39 year old Shurlan Anthony Paul of the same address.

According to reports, the deceased, and two of Evan's uncles, were involved in an altercation on the day in question, which resulted in the deceased inflicting a stabbing wound to the arm of one of the men. This newspaper was told that following the stabbing incident, a number of persons in the area assisted in quelling the disturbances. Later in the day, one of the men's nephews allegedly confronted the deceased and spoke to him with respect to the stabbing incident.

It is alleged that the victim when confronted may have used words which may have angered the accused and as a result the accused slapped the victim who immediately fell and knocked his head. It is believed that the deceased who is known to be a heavy drinker later died due to internal head injuries.

Meanwhile on Wednesday afternoon, Paul was laid to rest following a funeral service held at the La Qua Brothers Crematorium in St. George's. In other related police news, investigations are nearly complete into an incident which occurred in the Fort Jeudy area on Monday night. According to information obtained by our news desk, a team of police officers reportedly gave chase to a 22 year old man in a stolen vehicle.

It was reported that sometime on Monday evening, Kevon Paul of Boca in St. George's had visited the Fort Jeudy where he stole a motor vehicle along with a few items belonging to the owner of the vehicle.

The officers in an attempt to capture the fleeing suspect were involved in a high speed chase and within minutes they were able to bring an end to the ordeal and capture the suspect who was taken into custody. A police spokesman said that Paul will be charged for the incident but did not give specifics of the likely charges to be laid against him.
