Two men were mur­dered overnight in sep­a­rate in­ci­dents in East Trinidad.

Po­lice said Em­manuel De Ver­teuil, 25, of Ma­habir Lane, Ari­ma was stand­ing near Liquor Well Bay, in D’Abadie when he was shot.

He was tak­en to the Ari­ma Dis­trict Hos­pi­tal but died while re­ceiv­ing treat­ment.

In an un­re­lat­ed in­ci­dent, a Trinci­ty man was shot and killed in Ari­ma while his friend was in­jured.

Po­lice said Dwight Fran­cis, 38, of 8th Street, Caz­abon Av­enue was lim­ing with Roger Bel­con, 32 of Wal­cott Place, Phase 4, Mal­abar, Ari­ma around 12.35 am on Sat­ur­day-when two gun­men ap­proached the duo and opened fire.

Fran­cis and Bel­con were close to Bel­con’s home when they were shot.

Bel­con was shot to the back and hip and Fran­cis was found ly­ing dead in a near­by drain.
