Learie Patterson

Learie Patterson, 27, a tailor of Moriah in Tobago died at about 4.30 am in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) after remaining unconscious following the December 31 incident, when he was struck on the head during a dispute with a jeweler.
The altercation in which the jeweler himself was stabbed repeatedly by Patterson, is said to have occurred at a building in Scarborough where the men’s respective businesses were located.
The police file on the matter will be forwarded to Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Geoffrey Henderson who will advise investigators as to what course the investigation should take. Police sources said a criminal charge could be laid against the jeweler or the case could go the way of a Coroner’s Inquest. Detective Corporal Judith Leander of the Scarborough CID is spearheading investigations.
