24-year-old man up to late yesterday afternoon was assisting police with investigations in connection with the shooting deaths of four people at their Gonzales home on Monday. The man, police sources said, was a member of a gang in the area. According to Deputy Police Commissioner Gilbert Reyes yesterday the suspect, from Gonzales, was arrested by a party of police officers on Tuesday night. During the attack at their family home around 12.30 am on Monday, Carmen McHutchinson, 68, and her step-grandchildren, Asha, 24, LL,13, and Javon Roberts,18, were shot dead.
Reyes said police also were searching for three other men believed to be part of a gang from Gonzales and wanted in connection with the killings. Expressing confidence the men would be brought to justice soon, Reyes said his officers were unrelenting in their search to seek out the other suspects. Aunt of the murdered Roberts’ siblings, Pamela Roberts-Glasgow, said a funeral service would be held for all four on Monday at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Independence Square, Port-of-Spain.
Roberts-Glasgow said her niece, 23-year-old Jehial and Asha’s four-year-old daughter Zara Sylvester, who survived the attack were no longer listed in critical condition at hospital. “They are coming along and by the Grace of God we know their condition is going to improve. “It’s really sad little Zara has to grow up without a mother but God is good and those who did this would be brought to justice,” Roberts-Glasgow said.
