This Christmas will not be a merry one for Mary Arthur after her son, a father of three, was stabbed to death on Sunday evening.
Yesterday, she was still trying to come to grips with the untimely death of 39-year-old Andy Rudolph Arthur who died during an incident at 3rd Avenue Station Hill, St Michael.
According to police, there was an altercation outside a business establishment in the area, resulting in Arthur, of nearby Goddings Road, receiving injuries and collapsing. He was pronounced dead on the scene.
It was a restless night for the mother who condemned the violence that claimed her child whom she described as quiet, hard-working and did his best to avoid trouble.

“He was never a bad fellow. He was very nice, quiet and very humble. He just liked to do his work and when he said we were going to do something, he’d stand by it,” she told the Daily Nation at her home a short distance away from where the tragedy occurred.
Arthur said that outside of his close circle of friends, her son kept to himself and his main focus was his work, children and family. She said she believed that because of his quiet and reserved nature, he drew the attention of troublemakers who often made him a target. (JRN)
