Murders in Tobago

According to ACP (Tobago) Garfield Moore, police received a report about a robbery in Richmond Belle Garden where three masked men, two armed with guns, stole a vehicle and sped off .

The stolen car was seen later parked at the Mason Hall Link Road with Providence and the other man inside, both shot multiple times. Providence was pronounced dead at the scene while the other man who was unidentified up to press time, was rushed to Scarborough General Hospital where he died last night. Both were shot in the head .

A resident of Richmond Belle Garden, in recounting the robbery, told Newsday he saw a car reverse into a dark corner of the female robbery victim’s house .

“I was relaxing in the porch when I saw this car come into my neighbour’s yard. My first thought was it was a friend of my neighbour .

But then I asked myself, ‘why is he parking the car in a dark area’,” the resident said .

“There were three men inside .

One of them who was wearing a hoodie, placed a bandana across his face and when I saw this, I rushed inside my house and locked up the place. I tried peeping through the curtains to see what was going on but I was unable to see anything further.” The man said he tried to contact his neighbour (the robbery victim) but with no success .

“After sometime, I saw them leaving with her car, a black Elantra, as well as the vehicle they came with. A few minutes later the victim’s sister came running outside screaming for help,” the neighbour said .

“I came out and she explained to me that three men stormed her house, placed guns to their heads and demanded cash, jewelry and the keys to the vehicle.” Roxborough police are continuing investigations .
