Killed for his car

Relatives identified the body of the El Dorado man at the Forensic Science Centre in St James yesterday.

At about 4.30pm on Friday last, gunshots were heard at Cornelius Drive, Tunapuna.

Police arrived on the scene and found Tynsdale’s bullet riddled body at the side of the road.

His relatives, who last saw him on Friday morning, became worried when they did not hear from him and attempts to reach him on his cellular phone were futile. “It was fishy that he was not answering his phone all weekend,” said one relative who wished not to be named.

“He would usually get someone’s phone borrowed and call if he does not have money on his. So we called the owners of the car and asked them to turn on the GPS and find out where the car is.” The GPS (global positioning system) tracked the car to Tunapuna near a secondary school.
