Another domestic dispute has ended with the deaths of a 22-year-old woman and her former lover, who succumbed to his injuries after jumping from the fourth floor of Port-of-Spain General Hospital on Saturday afternoon.
Police said Felicia Morris, of Morvant, was stabbed 21 times by her former common-law husband Jason Thomas, 29, of Malabar in Arima.
According to the police, the couple had separated recently, after living together for eight months on Ramnath Street in Malabar.
On Saturday afternoon, mere hours before committing suicide, Thomas went to Malabar police post and informed officers about a domestic dispute with Morris on Tuesday.
Police said Thomas told them Morris had come to the apartment on Tuesday, and that they got into an argument, during which she damaged appliances and broke furniture items.
Thomas told them the relationship had ended.
Investigators suspect that Morris had visited Thomas around 2 pm on Saturday to resolve the issue, because a police investigation had already started. Police said another argument began and Thomas was fatally stabbed.
During the melee, Thomas was also wounded and sought medical attention at Port-of-Spain General Hospital.
Detectives said while at the hospital, Thomas confessed to a nurse that he had killed Morris earlier in the afternoon. He then threw himself over the fourth floor.
He sustained severe injuries and died later in the night.
A nurse, who spoke on Saturday, said Thomas was not a patient of the hospital. She said he had visited someone in one of the wards.
One investigator said Thomas “seemed like a reasonable man when he spoke and had an appointment to return to Malabar Police Station today.”
Four people have been killed in the past few months as a result of domestic disputes.
