The fa­ther of a man who was shot dead dur­ing a home in­va­sion in Ch­agua­nas on Sat­ur­day night wants de­tails of what ex­act­ly led to his son’s death.

Po­lice said Mark An­tho­ny Joseph, 25, from Ed­in­burgh 500, Ch­agua­nas, along with sev­er­al oth­er men tried break­ing in­to a house in Egypt Vil­lage, Ch­agua­nas, when they were con­front­ed by a woman who owned the house.

In the re­port, the woman called on the men to stop and leave, but they con­tin­ued try­ing to open the door of the house.

The woman, us­ing a rel­a­tive’s li­cenced gun, shot and killed Joseph, while the oth­ers fled from the house.

Speak­ing with Guardian Me­dia at the Foren­sic Sci­ence Cen­tre, St James, yes­ter­day, Joseph’s fa­ther, Michael Joseph, said he was un­clear what ex­act­ly hap­pened and hoped to get some an­swers soon.

Joseph said his son worked as a se­cu­ri­ty guard for Pre­mi­um Se­cu­ri­ty Com­pa­ny for the past two weeks.

He said he did not know his son to be in­volved in any crim­i­nal ac­tiv­i­ties and was con­fused as to what tran­spired Sat­ur­day night.

“He was nev­er a ban­dit or a crook or any­thing. He had his lit­tle is­sues, tak­ing his lit­tle smoke and thing.

“It’s a shock and every­one re­sponds to shock dif­fer­ent­ly. I haven’t spo­ken much to any­one. I’m just try­ing to see what I can do to re­cov­er his body and see what next,” Joseph said.

“The de­tails on what hap­pened that night is still sketchy in my mind, and I’m look­ing to see if I can get more in­for­ma­tion on ex­act­ly what took place,” the fa­ther added.

Joseph said an­oth­er ac­count of the in­ci­dent sug­gest­ed that his son was trav­el­ling in a car with oth­ers and be­gan act­ing un­set­tled, caus­ing him to get out of the car and some­how got to the woman’s home where he was shot.

He said this ac­count did not pro­vide many de­tails. He said he was search­ing for an­swers.

“I just want some­one to tell me what re­al­ly hap­pened.”

Joseph said his son was the fa­ther of a one-and-a-half-year-old boy and in­tend­ed to ap­ply to join the Prison Ser­vice which is on a re­cruit­ment dri­ve.

“He was look­ing to join the Prison Ser­vice be­cause re­cent­ly they re­cruit­ed a cou­ple thou­sand peo­ple, he want­ed to get in­to that to get a sta­ble job. He has an 18-month-old son, so that was his plan go­ing for­ward. He even tried to spruce him­self up more in prepa­ra­tion, he start­ed ex­er­cis­ing more,” Joseph said.

Con­tact­ed for com­ment, one of­fi­cer in the Cen­tral Di­vi­sion said the mat­ter was still be­ing in­ves­ti­gat­ed but not­ed that of­fi­cers would have to seek ad­vice from the Di­rec­tor of Pub­lic Pros­e­cu­tions (DPP) on how to pro­ceed with the mat­ter.

There was no word from the po­lice on whether or not Mark An­tho­ny Joseph had a crim­i­nal record.
