A 46-year-old busi­ness­man was stabbed to death fol­low­ing an ar­gu­ment with a woman he was in a re­la­tion­ship with at her Ch­agua­nas home on Sun­day night.

Po­lice said Gre­go­ry Re­ece vis­it­ed the woman at her Oak Av­enue, Wood­ford Gar­dens apart­ment short­ly be­fore 7 pm, when an al­ter­ca­tion broke out be­tween them.

Dur­ing the dis­pute, Re­ece was stabbed in the chest.

Res­i­dents, hear­ing the com­mo­tion, alert­ed po­lice and emer­gency ser­vices. Of­fi­cers from the Ch­agua­nas Crim­i­nal In­ves­ti­ga­tion De­part­ment (CID), who were on pa­trol near­by at the time, al­so re­spond­ed.

On ar­rival, Emer­gency Med­ical Tech­ni­cians (EMTs) found Re­ece show­ing no signs of life. A dis­trict med­ical of­fi­cer lat­er vis­it­ed the scene and pro­nounced him dead.

A 25-year-old woman has been ar­rest­ed and re­mained in cus­tody up to yes­ter­day morn­ing.

Re­ece was the man­ag­er of Trinidad and To­ba­go Den­tal.

In 2017, he was charged with four counts of ut­ter­ing a forged valu­able se­cu­ri­ty and two counts of ob­tain­ing over $1.4 mil­lion by false pre­tences.
