Guyanese pastor kills female T&T pastor

DEAD: Al­isa Ali

A Guyanese male pastor, fatally stabbed a female pastor in Longdenville, Trinidad and Tobago on Saturday night.

The blood­shed evoked horror among worshippers in the community of Gill Trace, Lamont Street, Long­denville, where the de­ceased Al­isa Ali lived and wor­shipped.

Investigators said Ali, 42, op­er­at­ed a church next to her home. Friday night at around 10.30, Ali reportedly got into an argument with another religious leader who is believed to have stabbed her multiple times on her face and upper body.

Her children, who heard the commotion, ran into her bedroom and found her bleeding from stab wounds.

The suspect, who is a Guyanese national, ran out of the house and up towards Gill Street. He then flagged down a passing car and escaped, witnesses told po­lice.

Ali’s daughter and son-in-law rushed her to the Chaguanas District Health Facility where she was pronounced dead on arrival. Officers of the Longdenville and Chaguanas Police Stations and Central Police Division are up to this time search­ing for the sus­pect. (T&T Guardian)
