Po­lice in the Re­gion II Homi­cide Bu­reau were kept busy on Thurs­day night in­to yes­ter­day morn­ing, as two sep­a­rate mur­ders were re­port­ed in Tu­na­puna and Ari­ma.

In the lat­est in­ci­dent at around 1.40 am yes­ter­day, res­i­dents re­port­ed hear­ing gun­shots on Man­an Road, off the Ari­ma Old Road, but did not ven­ture out­side to in­ves­ti­gate. Hours passed be­fore neigh­bours checked on res­i­dent Dex­ter McMil­lan, 29, where they found him in his home with gun­shot wounds.

When Guardian Me­dia vis­it­ed the area yes­ter­day, Crime Scene In­ves­ti­ga­tors were seen can­vass­ing McMil­lan’s home in search of ev­i­dence and oth­er clues to his mur­der.
