News Source understands that the suspect shared a relationship in the past with the same woman who was now sharing her home with her new boyfriend, Claude DeJounge.

Although the woman ended her relationship with Arthur since last year, he would still visit the home as a family friend.

Reports state that sometime after midnight, he gained access to the home through a window and a fight broke out between the two men.

It was during that fight, which took place in front of the girlfriend, that the man stabbed Dejounge repeatedly to the body, while threatening that he would take his own life.  Persons in the area said he left moments after as the woman screamed out for assistance.

Police arrived on the scene and a manhunt has been launched for the suspect.  The investigations are ongoing.
