In­ves­ti­ga­tors said the mur­ders of pro­duce ven­dor Waz­im Nab­bie and taxi dri­ver Che-An­der­son Abra­ham Reid were ex­e­cu­tion style killings.

Nab­bie, 21, of Church Street, La Ro­maine, was dis­cov­ered by the crew of the Wa­ter Taxi HSC Tri­ni Flash around 4 pm Fri­day, hog-tied with a cloth cov­er­ing his face and fas­tened with duct tape.

How­ev­er, a Coast Guard team could not re­cov­er the body un­til it was again spot­ted by Petrotrin per­son­nel near a plat­form in the Brighton Ma­rine Fields off La Brea on Sat­ur­day. The body was re­trieved hours lat­er near the Trin­mar jet­ty in Point Fortin.

Around 3 pm Sat­ur­day, a passer­by dis­cov­ered Reid's body along the Point Co­co Beach, Granville. When Ce­dros po­lice ar­rived, they found his hands and feet tied be­hind his back, which ap­peared to be the same brown fab­ric that was used to bound Nab­bie's hands and feet.

Both men were re­port­ed miss­ing to St Joseph po­lice on Wednes­day and Reid's car was found aban­doned at King's Wharf, San Fer­nan­do. Ried lived at Curepe.

Au­top­sies per­formed by foren­sic pathol­o­gist Dr Valery Alexan­drov yes­ter­day showed that Nab­bie was shot twice in the back of his neck while al­ready bound and gagged. Reid was shot once in the side of the head. Both bod­ies were bad­ly de­com­posed and it was es­ti­mat­ed that they spent three days at sea. It is be­lieved that they were killed and thrown in the wa­ter around the same time.
