Latinos in triple murder

The men, Miguel Angel Matillo, 24, of the Dominican Republic; Alfredo Malchan, 24, of Venezuela and Moruga resident Dillon Lewis, 28, were gunned down near a basketball court.

Police believe the three were conducting an illegal transaction when they were killed. Police believe Lewis took the two foreign nationals into John John to collect money when they were killed.

Shortly after 6 pm on Monday, police were alerted to reports of gunshots being heard near an apartment complex. When police responded they found the bodies outside a house. Each man was shot in the head. The three were missing their shoes while one was missing a belt, which first led police to believe the three men were victims of a robbery.

An autopsy done yesterday at the Forensic Science Centre in St James, confirmed that all three men died as a result of a gunshot wound to the head. Relatives yesterday refused to comment when approached by reporters at the Forensic Science Centre in St James.
