Two men were shot dead and another man injured in separate incidents in Siparia and Marabella on Friday night. They have been identified as Josiah Joseph, alias Pennie, 21, of Quinam Road, Penal, and Curban James, also known as Ban, 48, a welder of West Bayshore, Marabella.
In the first incident, shortly before 9 pm, police responded to a report of gunshots at Well Road, Siparia. When they got to the location, however, the officers were met with hostility by several people gathered on the road and in a yard.
On the front porch of an unfinished structure, the officers saw Joseph bleeding on the floor. He had been shot approximately six times. While being transported in an EHS ambulance to the Siparia Health Facility, he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead by a doctor around 9.25 pm. Police said 12 spent 9mm casings were retrieved at the scene.
