And, that murder has to be seen in the context of the other that happened in Calcutta on Wednesday afternoon.
As we have reported, 31 year old Raymond Jenkins had dropped off his phone to repair when two men came up on motorbikes and shot him as he sat inside his car. He was along with his young son, who witnessed the whole thing.
Police discussed this case today:
ACP Joseph Myvette
"Whilst the phone was being repaired, several shots were heard after which the person repairing the phone came outside and saw Mr. Jenkins in his car with apparent gunshot injuries. We also learnt that whilst Mr. Jenkins was waiting there, he was approached by two male persons who were on a red motorbike, one of whom fired several shots in his direction, causing the aforementioned injuries. Police are investigating this matter. At this point in time, we do not have anyone in our custody. We are following several leads in relation to the investigation."
Reporter
"Is there what appears to be perhaps a related spike in violent crimes in Corozal?"
ACP Joseph Myvette
"Yes, we do believe so. We have seen a number of violent crimes over the last week or so in the Corozal District which we are addressing at this point in time."
Police have made no arrests in either killing.
