Twenty-four-year-old Everaldo Samayoa is dead tonight and the man who allegedly caused his untimely demise, thirty-five-year-old Darwin Castillo is behind bars. Samayoa was fatally stabbed at around one-thirty this morning while at the Placencia Hotel and Casino along the Placencia strip. According to investigators, Samayoa along with two of his brothers including Marlon who was stabbed in his back was involved in a brawl with Castillo, a security officer at the establishment.

ACP Joseph Myvett, Head, National Crimes Investigation Branch

“What we know is that those persons were inside the casino consuming alcohol and whilst leaving they were approached by the security who spoke to them in relations to certain rules. As a result, that seemingly caused those persons to get upset where they got into an altercation and security was pushed down. This however did not end that as apparently the altercation continued to the back of the building which resulted in the security receiving a chop wound or a cut wound to the left arm whilst Everaldo Samayoa obviously received a stab wound to the right ribcage and was transported to the Southern Regional Hospital where he later died while undergoing treatment.”

During the fight, a knife was produced. Castillo received a cut to his left arm which doctors classified as ‘wounding’. At this point, the matter is being treated as a death investigation.
