Two elderly men are this country’s latest murder victims as they were gunned down while liming in Arima on last night.
Police said Terrence Romero, 68 and another man identified only by his alias “Pa” who is believed to be in his early sixties were liming with another man on La Retreat Road, Arima, near the dump at around 8.20 pm when they were shot several times by attackers.
Residents called the police who visited the scene and took Romero and Pa to the Arima Health Facility, where they were declared dead shortly after.
Region II Homicide investigators were called in and remained at the scene up to Saturday morning collecting evidence and canvassing the area as part of the enquiry.
This is the second multiple murder to happen in the La Retreat/ Dump Road, Arima, area for the year thus far.
On February 23, Anicia James, 47, her brother Anslem James, 49, and her common-law husband Mitchell Francois, 30, were gunned down during a home invasion at La Retreat Extension, Heights of Guanapo.
