With their hair­nets still on, two Japs Fried Chick­en work­ers were among the crowd at St He­le­na who took turns try­ing to get the best van­tage point to view the bod­ies of fa­ther and son –De­vanand and Je­re­my Gokool–who were ex­e­cut­ed yes­ter­day.Around 5.30 pm, po­lice said a man dressed in black ap­proached the duo who were seat­ed on white plas­tic chairs fac­ing an emp­ty lot of land be­hind their St He­le­na home.

Po­lice said the 52-year-old Gokool, a mon­ey-lender and an em­ploy­ee of the Min­istry of Works, was ap­proached by the man who pre­tend­ed he want­ed to bor­row mon­ey.As the two dis­cussed the terms of agree­ment, the shoot­er, who po­lice be­lieve was a paid as­sas­sin, shot both men once in their heads and walked away.He then got back in his car and drove off. The make and mod­el of the car along with the li­cence plate was cap­tured on cam­era and po­lice say they would re­view the footage.

Je­re­my Gokool, po­lice said, was shot in the chest on Jan­u­ary 18 af­ter he got in­to an al­ter­ca­tion with a man al­leged­ly over a Gov­ern­ment con­tract­ing deal that went sour.On April 10 Siew­dath Rag­bir, man­ag­ing di­rec­tor of RS Pavers Lim­it­ed, ap­peared be­fore a Ch­agua­nas Mag­is­trate charged with shoot­ing Gokool. Po­lice are not link­ing the two in­ci­dents.At the dou­ble mur­der scene yes­ter­day, a cry­ing rel­a­tive said there were three po­lice of­fi­cers liv­ing in the area and they all failed the fam­i­ly.

An­oth­er woman screamed that the men should have had guns to pro­tect them­selves.She added: "This is not re­al. Why would they want to kill them? He was not a threat to any­one. The on­ly weapon was his tongue."Mean­while, in an un­re­lat­ed mur­der, po­lice of the Va­len­cia Po­lice Sta­tion were called to the Quar­ry Road, Va­len­cia, mur­der scene of An­tho­ny de Ver­teuil.De Ver­teuil, po­lice said, was a known crim­i­nal with a his­to­ry of con­vic­tions for rob­beries and gun-re­lat­ed mat­ters.Po­lice said around 6.35 pm on Wednes­day res­i­dents heard gun­shots and dis­cov­ered his body on the road­way.

De Ver­teuil of Cas­san­dra Boule­vard, Va­len­cia, was shot eight times in the chest and arms. Po­lice said de­spite his crim­i­nal his­to­ry they have no mo­tive for his Killing.
