I saw a murdered soul today

Had some friends staying with me and they left on the early flight this morning. Tried to go back to sleep but I couldn't. Decided to go walking instead. Just down the road from me, I came upon a group of people, saw a Caution tape" and didn't think anything of it. Lo and behold when I reached closer to the area, I see a dead man covered up with cloth, blood flowing from his upper body.

The area has an open air bar which is very lively. Made a few calls and heard that he may be a "jumby" from Woburn and that some men drove up last night/early this morning, some bottles were broken and he was cut. Then I heard that when they were on their way back to the Woburn area, they crashed. I understand that police caught two of the perps.

But imagine, the only dead person I ever see in Jamaica was the victim of a motor vehicle accident, and I come to peaceful Grenada and see a murdered soul. Who would have thunk it?

Tonight when I was walking home, people by that area were seemingly going about their normal business. Perhaps they were talking about what had transpired the night before. But perhaps some didn't know what had transpired and people would have been unknowingly walking over the very place where this man took his last breath.

Yeah, you are right... Actually, if you consider that people have been around for millenia, I guess we all walk over spots where people died/were killed everyday.
