A domestic dispute led to the killing of a Tobago fisherman this morning.

Dead is Kevin Waldron, 40, of Silk Cotton Trace, Bon Accord. Police have since detained a male relative.

 
According to reports, the incident occurred around 8 am in the driveway of Waldron's home after an altercation stemming from a dispute that started when a customer visited Waldron's home to buy fish. Waldron demanded that the customer move her vehicle from the driveway. But when his brother refused, Waldron reportedly charged at him with an object hitting him in the head and body. A fight broke out between them, and Waldron was stabbed in the chest.
 
He died on the spot.
 
A weapon was also recovered on the scene.
 
District Medical Officer Dr Rawlins-Sebro visited the scene and ordered the body removed to the Scarborough Hospital mortuary.
 
Relatives described Waldron as an arrogant individual who was not well-liked by the community. 
 
Some said the animosity between the two men goes back to an ongoing land dispute.
 
An autopsy is expected to be conducted soon. The Tobago Homicide Bureau is continuing investigations.
