T&T cops probe murder as kids found with decomposin­g bodies

-

PORT-OF-SPAIN, TRINIDAD (CMC): Police are investigat­ing the discovery of two children – an eight-month-old baby and his fouryear-old sister – found in a house in south Trinidad with the decomposin­g bodies of three people, who were shot dead.

The police said that the children were found by their 21-year-old brother Vishad Mohamed, who went to visit his family in Penal, Trinidad, on Thursday.

He discovered the bodies of his parents – Wazir Mohammed, 57, and Shelly-Ann Ragoonanan, 39, as well as his 46-year-old uncle, Nazir Mohammed.

The children were not harmed by the killers and the authoritie­s say it is likely that the four-year-old had been taking care of the baby following the shootings that apparently occurred four days earlier.

Senior Superinten­dent Wayne Mohammed told reporters that Vishad, who lives elsewhere, went to check on his family as he was unable to make contact with them since Sunday.
