The police are investigating the circumstances behind a stabbing that left one man dead and one woman in police custody. According to reports, the woman was at home around 2:00 this morning when her ex-common-law Lindberg Flowers showed up and demanded to be let inside. She refused to let him in and so he allegedly began breaking the glass louvres of one of her windows. When he still couldn't get inside, he locked her inside the house and threatened to return and burn it down.
So what led to his death only half an hour later, and is it murder? Here's what the police told us today.
