HOURS before she would have celebrated her 22nd birthday, Carmin Jean was stabbed to death during a domestic dispute with her boyfriend late Sunday night.
According to police the 30-year-old suspect, who is now in police custody, attempted to take his own life after Jean was stabbed five times.
The country’s murder count now stands at 103, according to The Tribune’s records.
According to reports, shortly before 9pm, Jean was involved in an argument with her boyfriend at their home on Alfred Way off Winders Terrace.
She was stabbed twice in the upper back, once in the right shoulder, once in the left shoulder and once in the abdomen, The Tribune was told.
She died on the scene.
Shortly after the murder, acting on intelligence, police went to a home located on Shrimp Road off Carmichael Road, where they found the suspect suffering from several self-inflicted stab wounds. He was taken into custody and transported to the hospital where he is listed in serious, but stable condition.
The suspect is also under heavy police guard.
Following her death, Jean’s friends and family expressed their hurt and anger on social media, for a woman who they said “was taken too soon”.
“Today was supposed to be your birthday,” a friend wrote on Jean’s Facebook page.
“So young, smart and vibrant, we had plans to celebrate your birthday but now your family is making funeral plans. A day of celebration turned into a day of mourning. Sleep on baby girl. We miss you and we love you.”
Jean was recently graduated from the Bahamas Technical and Vocational Institute (BTVI) and received a certificate in cosmetology.
Anyone with information on this murder is asked to contact police at 911 or 919, the Central Detective Unit at 502-9991 or Crime Stoppers anonymously a 328-TIPS.
