The murder toll rose by two during an early morning Saturday shooting in Arima.

Police said Keith Benjamin Spencer, 47 and Junior Castillo alias ‘Roti’ were liming at a bar near the corner of Queen and Farfan Streets, at around 2.43 am when a car drove near them.

Gunmen got out of the car and killed one of the men, as the other man tried to run away from his attackers, but was chased and killed.
