WESTBROOK — A woman who lives across the street from the Central Street duplex where Robert Stubbs was fatally stabbed Thursday night said she saw the confrontation take place from her bedroom window.
Brenda Manchester said she heard shouting and looked out the window to see a man dressed in black standing on the porch at Stubbs’ front door.
“He kept saying, ‘Give me my (stuff),’ ” Manchester recalled. “He said it, like, a dozen times.”
Manchester said the man, who was black, then turned, ran down the porch stairs and up the street out of view.
She said the door closed, and when it reopened, Stubbs’ wife appeared to be “on the phone and freaking out.”
