Murders in Arima, Diego
By ALEXANDER BRUZUAL Friday, March 16 2012
THE murder toll rose to 78 yesterday morning when two young men were killed in separate incidents in Diego Martin and Arima. First, a mere two days after the killing of 53-year-old Carl Samuel by a male relative, Western Division Police Officers were once again called on to respond to a domestic killing.
Police reported at about 10 pm on Wednesday, 25-year-old Jeremy Joseph was at his Finch Drive, River Estate home in Diego Martin, when he got into an altercation with a 24-year-old male relative.
The altercation quickly escalated and it was reported that during the ensuing fracas between the two young men, Joseph was stabbed in his chest with a knife. Other relatives in the household quickly became aware of the seriousness of the situation and Joseph was rushed to the Port-of-Spain General Hospital. His attacker reportedly fled the scene.
However, Joseph did not respond to treatment and succumbed to his injuries at about 6 am yesterday.
A party of police officers from the Western Division including Inspector Henry Dan, Sgt Ulric Prescott, Sgt Beard, Sgt Constantine, Cpl Reyes and PC Mayhew, visited the scene of the altercation.
A 24-year-old suspect was later detained, and is currently assisting police with their investigations. When Newsday visited the area yesterday, the victim’s family and relatives were not at the Finch Drive house. However, neighbours indicated that they were in shock over the incident and described Joseph as a quiet and friendly young man who was not known to cause any sort of trouble.
Next, it was reported that Northern Division Police Officers were called out to the Arima Race Club in Santa Rosa after employees reportedly heard several loud explosions.
It was said that at about 11 am, employees reportedly heard several loud explosions, which sounded like gunfire and on investigating, saw two men fleeing the scene. One man was said to be riding a bicycle while the other was on foot.
A further search of the area was conducted and the body of a young man with what appeared to be three gunshot injuries to his back, was found in a pool of blood near to the race club. The police were notified and the area later cordoned off and a party of officers visited the scene.
The body later identified as 21-year-old Marvin Patrome of Valencia. Investigations are continuing.
