Belmont man murdered

Ricardo Jhinoo was found with multiple chop wounds in his Hyundai car in the vicinity of the Santa Rosa racing track and housing development shortly after 8.45 pm on Tuesday.

Reports are that police who were on patrol observed the vehicle parked with its engine running, the air condition on and the man slumped in the driver’s seat.

On closer inspection, Jhinoo was found bleeding from chop wounds to various parts of his body.

He appeared to be unresponsive and a District Medical Officer was called to the scene.

The area was cordoned off and the body was ordered removed to the Forensic Science Centre.

Crime Scene investigators took possession of the vehicle and a search was carried out for clues.

Jhinoo’s relatives were later contacted and an autopsy is expected to be carried out.
