MANCHESTER, Jamaica — A dispute reportedly over the non-payment of money for vegetables between vendors in Christiana turned deadly on Saturday, with two vendors being stabbed, one fatally, and another in police custody with a head injury.

Police named the deceased vendor as Wrayon Williams, 21, a resident of Harry Watch district in Manchester.

A police source told Observer Online that about 5:00 pm, the three vendors were involved in an altercation, allegedly over the non-payment for pak choi, when they got into a fight.

Police later apprehended the third vendor who has reportedly received medical treatment for his head injury.
