ASSISTANT Commissioner of Police for South/Central Wayne Mystar said investigators are making progress in identifying the suspects in the daylight murder of SNM Motors Ltd employee Saleem Abdool, on May 27.

Abdool was driving in traffic near VMCOTT around 1.20 pm, when a brown Kia Sportage pulled up and gunmen opened fire at him, hitting him in his chest. He died undergoing emergency surgery at the San Fernando General Hospital.

Investigators believe the intended target was his boss, Shane Maharaj, whose vehicle Abdool was driving at the time. Maharaj's family has been targeted by criminals over the years.
