The ex-convict suspected of killing a 63-year-old man on November 18 in Fyzabad was still on the run on Thursday afternoon.

From what the police were told, the 49-year-old suspect was no longer staying at Forest Reserve Road.

Around 1.15 am on November 18, Anthony Wilson, 63, was stabbed and killed on a couch in a bedroom at his home. Wilson's funeral took place a few days ago.

Also known as Tony and Ouch, he lived with a female caretaker, 47, at Forest Reserve Road inside a gated area owned by Heritage Petroleum. But a few months ago, they gave the suspect lodgings. He had been released from prison after serving a sentence for drug-related offences.

The caretaker reported hearing Wilson ask, "Why did you do this to me?" during a quarrel with the man,

When she went into the room, Wilson had already been stabbed, and the killer was standing over him holding a knife smeared with blood.

When she went to help Wilson, the other man grabbed her by the neck, and they had a scuffle. She managed to escape and alerted neighbours.

The suspect ran away with the murder weapon.

Homicide Bureau of Investigations (Region III) and Fyzabad police visited the scene and gathered evidence.
