POLICE are investigating the country’s latest murder and two suicide attempts.

A 21-year-old resident of First Street, Coconut Grove, was killed Tuesday night.

Police said an anonymous caller informed police that a number of shots were discharged in that area. Officers later found a man’s dead body at the rear of a business establishment.

Police said the victim was walking in the area when he was approached by a man who produced a firearm, shot him and fled the area in an unknown direction.

Meanwhile, police said a 25-year-old man tried to kill himself yesterday.

Police received reports of a domestic complaint at Rugby Drive off Yamacraw Hill Road after 3am. The responding officer reportedly encountered a man who barricaded himself in a room and inflicted two deep lacerations to his wrist with a broken glass. The man was taken to hospital and was listed in serious condition.

Grand Bahama police are investigating the attempted suicide of a 47-year-old woman in Freeport on Wednesday.
