Man Killed After ‘Daggering’ Another Man’s Female Friend
The daggering dance style that’s popular in the dancehall, was reportedly the source of a feud which led to an 18 year old man’s death in Portland on Sunday (August 22). According to reports, Daniel Blair of Windsor in Portland, was at a dance at Rivers View, Rio Grande Valley in the parish in the early hours of Sunday morning, when a dispute developed between himself and another man. It is reported that the dispute had been ongoing, but took a turn for the worse on Sunday because one of the men was seen ‘daggering’ a female said to be a close friend of the other.
A knife was reportedly brought into play, and Blair was stabbed in the right side of his chest. He was later pronounced dead at the Port Antonio hospital. His 20-year-old assailant, who was taken into custody, is expected to be charged soon.
