(CMR) The police are investigating a West Bay stabbing incident last night that left Ian Duffle (51) dead shortly before 11:00 pm Friday night. Sources indicate that he was stabbed multiple times to this side and also had a critical wound to his neck at a residence off Birch Tree Hill Road and Captain Joe and Osbert Road.
CMR sources have indicated that a man has been arrested in relation to the fatal stabbing, and the road remains closed off this morning as police continue their investigations.
Ironically, there was a heavy police presence in the area earlier in the evening, including the police helicopter. The area has been a hotspot for many years, with another murder taking place in that general vicinity a number of years ago. Sources believe that the parties were fighting over drugs.
The matter is currently under investigation. Anyone who witnessed the incident or has any information is asked to contact West Bay CID at 949-3999. Anonymous tips can be provided directly to the RCIPS via their Confidential Tip Line at 949-7777 or via their website.
