An act of dead­ly gun vi­o­lence has shat­tered the peace in Moru­ga, claim­ing the lives of two young cousins and leav­ing two moth­ers griev­ing loss­es they hoped would nev­er come.

Josi­ah Carthy, 19, of White Trace and his cousin Seon Carthy of Si­mon Trace were found shot to death along a forest­ed part of Si­mon Trace in St Mary’s Vil­lage yes­ter­day morn­ing, hours af­ter they left home with­out say­ing where they were go­ing.

For Josi­ah’s moth­er, Cass­ian Rivers, the pain is now deeply per­son­al.
