St. John’s, Antigua – A violent ambush at Dove Trail in Yeptons has resulted in a guilty verdict for 24-year-old Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Jeconiah Carbon, who was convicted of attempted murder on Monday.
After a week-long trial, a jury deliberated for nearly four hours before reaching its decision.
The prosecution outlined how Carbon lured a 34-year-old man to the secluded location under the false pretense of a sexual encounter to settle a $100 debt. Once there, Carbon attacked the man from behind, slashing his throat and stabbing him multiple times.
The victim survived the ordeal, and his testimony played a key role in securing the conviction. Carbon now faces sentencing, where he could receive a lengthy prison term.
