A fight involving three men in Jericho district in Linstead, St Catherine this morning has left one dead, one hospitalised, and the other on the run.

The police report that about 9:10 a.m., the men became involved in a dispute, which escalated into a physical altercation.

During the melee, a sharp instrument was brought into play and used by one of the men to stab the other two.

The attacker fled the scene, and the injured men — who are said to be related — were taken to hospital.

One of them later died.

The Linstead Criminal Investigation Branch is probing the matter.
