posted (September 12, 2016)
Meanwhile, San Pedro Police have arrested and charged the man for that stabbing murder we told you about last Thursday.

The accused is 32 year-old Lyndon Kelly, a fisherman from the San Pedrito area of San Pedro. He was arraigned today before Chief Magistrate Ann Marie Smith on the single charge of murder. No plea was taken, and he was remanded into custody until January 16, 2017.

It was a broad daylight killing in the center of town. 32 year-old Elton Polonio, allegedly, got into an altercation with the accused over an old beef. Police reports say that it happened inside a hardware store, but the San Pedro Sun Newspaper reports that two eyewitnesses have recounted a different version of the stabbing.

The Sun reports that 2 eyewitnesses say that he received the fatal injury at Central Park. Polonio then went inside the hardware store, in search of a machete. He reportedly came back armed, but, that's when he collapsed. He was then rushed to the San Pedro Polyclinic, where he died while undergoing medical treatment.
