Carpenter stabbed to death while saving prostitute from being beaten over a quickie

It is heartbreaking how a carpenter who sought to protect a sex worker from being beaten up ended up dying after being stabbed with a broken bottle.

Carpenter stabbed to death for trying to protect prostitute from assault

Dare and Lukeman are said to be neighbours who own shops opposite the popular drinking spot and sex workers use its enclosed back for short time sex for money.

Reports say Dare who is now a suspected murderer in police custody wanted to beat the prostitute for taking a customer to the back of the building for a quickie without paying him first.

He usually collects money for the use of the place, so he angrily interrupted the quickie between the prostitute and her customer, threatening to beat her for not paying him in advance.
