Two sus­pects, in­clud­ing a 14-year-old boy, are ex­pect­ed to be ques­tioned by po­lice fol­low­ing a home in­va­sion in Val­sayn on Mon­day af­ter­noon that left one of their ac­com­plices dead.

Po­lice said the in­ci­dent be­gan just be­fore 1 pm when three oc­cu­pants of a home along Val­sayn Av­enue, Val­sayn North, were con­front­ed by armed men.

A 79-year-old woman was warned by one of the in­trud­ers to re­main qui­et, but bark­ing from the fam­i­ly’s pet pit­bull alert­ed rel­a­tives, who re­spond­ed to as­sist her.

The as­sailants fled the prop­er­ty by jump­ing over a wall.

Of­fi­cers from the St Joseph Crim­i­nal In­ves­ti­ga­tions De­part­ment lat­er ar­rest­ed two sus­pects near­by. The sus­pects, aged 14 and 22, are from St Joseph and Port of Spain re­spec­tive­ly.

Po­lice al­so re­port­ed that a third sus­pect was shot and killed at Farm Road Ex­ten­sion, Curepe. Up to news time, he re­mained uniden­ti­fied.
