Ro­man Catholic Arch­bish­op Charles Ja­son Gor­don has said that any loss of life to vi­o­lence is un­ac­cept­able, re­flect­ing on re­cent mur­ders in­clud­ing the deaths of 11-month-old Jay­den Sut­ton and his fa­ther, Joseph Sut­ton, in Dun­don­ald Hill, St James, ear­li­er this week.

Fa­ther and son were gunned down in their bed­room on the morn­ing of March 31, when a gun­man fired through a bed­room win­dow. As of Fri­day af­ter­noon, no ar­rests had been made in con­nec­tion with the killings.

Speak­ing with Guardian Me­dia Ltd af­ter the Sta­tions of the Cross pro­ces­sion in east Port-of-Spain yes­ter­day morn­ing, Gor­don stressed that such acts of vi­o­lence are in­tol­er­a­ble and called for a na­tion­al re­sponse to every loss of life.
