‘This is just another murder’

Lorenzo’s body was found at Clifton Hill in Port-of-Spain on Wednesday morning. The 25-yearold man who lived at Upper Bombay Street in St James was shot no less than 15 times, an autopsy performed yesterday at the Forensic Science Centre revealed.

Asked if they think the police would ever prosecute anyone for Lorenzo’s murder, a relative said, “as far as the family is concerned, this is going to be treated as just another murder,” said the relative. “Look around and ask yourself, ‘how many murders have been solved in this country?’ The police are clueless.

“It almost seems as if police just jot down information in a book and then move on. It’s like if they put these cases in a file and then dump it in some drawer like garbage. There will be no justice, this we know,” the relative added.

According to reports, residents of Clifton Hill were awakened by gunshots at 1 am on Wednesday and the police were contacted. Officers arrived on the scene but saw nothing untoward. At 7.30 am on Wednesday, persons walking along the road found Caesar’s body in a drain at the side of the road. No arrest has been made.
