RELATIVES of 28-year-old fisherman Chad Burnley suspect he may have been one of two Trinidadians killed when a vessel was struck in a “lethal kinetic strike” on Tuesday by US forces who continue to target alleged narco-traffickers operating out of Venezuela.

It was the fifth lethal strike in as many weeks off the coast of Venezuela by US forces that killed six individuals, taking the total number of people killed by US forces to 27.

Two relatives of Burnley, a fisherman from Las Cuevas, came forward saying based on the information they received on Tuesday night, they were certain he was one of the six men killed. They also suspect another unidentified Trinidadian from South Trinidad was killed, along with four Venezuelan nationals.
