A party at a flat in South Delhi’s Khanpur turned tragic when a Nigerian national was stabbed to death allegedly by a friend and another was critically injured in the early hours of Tuesday.
According to the police, they found the victims -- later identified as Oshifo (34) and Kelvin (32) -- on the main road in Krishna Park of Khanpur around 2 a.m. .
Blood was oozing from their bodies because of stab wounds and they were taken to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences where Oshifo succumbed to his injuries.
Kelvin is admitted at the AIIMS trauma centre in a serious condition.
Argument turns into violent confrontation
Explaining the sequence of events, a police officer said: “Kelvin told us that he and Oshifo were attending a party at a friend’s apartment in Krishna Park where an argument turned into a violent confrontation. On the spur of the moment, their friend Henry, also a Nigerian national, attacked them with knives.”
Residents of the area denied having seen anything or hearing any commotion that lead to the murder.
A young man, however, happened to be awake at that time. He said that he saw the two young men running out to the main road crying for help.
“I was taking a break from my studies and I came to my balcony when I saw two men with blood oozing from their bodies running towards the main road. They collapsed when they reached there and just a few seconds later, I saw a PCR van coming to their rescue,” said the area resident.
Outside the flat where the incident is supposed to have taken place, there was blood spots on the path, suggesting that the two victims ran out seeking help.
A first information report has been registered at the Nebsarai police station under sections of murder.
