The men were taken to hospital where Heath was pronounced dead and the injured man hospitalised.

Superintendent Daley said disputes continue to result in violent cases in St Elizabeth despite a recent four-day visit by Justice Minister Delroy Chuck to train members of churches, Justices of the Peace and other groups in dispute resolution techniques under the alternative justice services programme.
