murder victim: Jonathan "Ants" Blanc
NORTHERN Division detectives were kept busy yesterday following the discovery of two bullet riddled bodies.
Police said around 11 a.m. they received a tip off and went to the half-mile mark along the Guanapo Road, Arima, where they found the body of the man.
The man of was of African descent and appeared to be in his 50s and there were gunshot wounds to his head and chest. The unidentified body was later taken to the Port of Spain mortuary.
Anyone with information as to the identity of the man is asked to contact the Arima Police Station.
In the other incident, police were called out around 3 p.m. when the body of Jonathan "Ants" Blanc, 22, was found near his home at Hillview Avenue, By-Pass Road, Arima.
According to relatives he was not known to be in any illegal activities.
Police said he had been stabbed and shot and his killers also slit his throat. His body was dumped in his neighbour's yard.
Relatives described him as a "good boy" who worked with his father. He would have celebrated his 23rd birthday on January 16.
The two killings push the murder toll to 19.
This one is a classic. He was a good boy, he was just going by the parlour to buy ah bread, he never do nothing to nobody. How many times have we heard that line before? His relatives say he was not known to be in any illegal activities. Well I guess they didn't know much. That didn't look like any ordinary killing: stabbed, shot and throat slit. Sounds like overkill to me.And what's with the nickname in the middle..."Ants". Every time I hear one of those gang members get shot and killed, or for that matter any news about some gangster wannabe, they always have some kind of nickname in the middle. Fresh, blood, small saleem and now ants. Take a hint nah, yuh bwoy was in ah gang and he never tell allyuh. Oh and before I forget, we now have 19 murders in 11 days, how much more incompetent can the PNM get?
