Search on for man in connection with death of one-year-old in St Vincent

The suspect is said to have climbed through a window when the child’s mother was in the shower and slit his throat.

The baby was rushed to a health facility, where he was pronounced dead.

The Rapid Response Unit of the Royal St Vincent and the Grenadines police force is leading the search for the suspect and the police are hoping to apprehend him before villagers do, as police fear vigilante justice in the case.

Homicide investigators from the Major Crime Unit have also been dispatched to the North Leeward community.

According to reports reaching CMC,  the child’s mother did not suffer any physical harm.

Police are also trying to locate the child’s father to protect him from any potential harm from the baby’s alleged assailant.
