I’m Charles Murphy reporting. A double stabbing in Belglade. Two arrests have been made. Andrika Eddy of Cluiston is facing criminal conspiracy, first-degree murder, and burglary with an assault or battery. Kayla Britton is facing the same charges. She’s from Belglade. The two had an issue with one of the victims, Princess Isaac, and went to an apartment in Belglade. Britton allegedly produced pepper spray, spraying one of the victims, Rakesha Lee, in her eyes, which prevented Lee from effectively fighting off her attacker. Lee was stabbed several times. And Princess Isaac arrived to help, but also was stabbed in the chest multiple times. At last report, Isaac was unconscious and in critical condition at a local hospital. A traffic crash in U.S. 27 involving a tow truck in South Bay, claiming that tow truck operator’s life. The Florida Highway Patrol’s 54-year-old Terrence Martin of Stewart was southbound in the tow truck when he somehow failed to negotiate a curve and went out of control. He struck two large palm trees, and the impact caused the flatbed tow truck to rotate violently. The flat metal deck sheared off of the tow truck, skipped approximately 170 feet through a residential yard, and into the property of Moss Towing, where the deck bed struck a parked trailer loaded with steel. Martin died at the scene. A LaBelle woman is accused of driving the wrong way on I-75 early Sunday morning. The Florida Highway Patrol used a pit maneuver to stop her at mile marker 143.
