Homi­cide of­fi­cers are search­ing for the sus­pects be­hind two sep­a­rate mur­ders which oc­curred in Ch­agua­nas on Mon­day.

Po­lice said the last in­ci­dent oc­curred around 10.45 pm when Mark Har­racks­ingh, 29, of Gout Street, Ex­change, Cou­va, was shot while in the vicin­i­ty of the JMMB Bank, South­ern Main Road, Ch­agua­nas.

Po­lice re­trieved six 9 mm spent shell cas­ings from the scene.

Po­lice said Har­racks­ingh and his com­mon-law wife, Akeela Mitchell, who are both ven­dors, com­plet­ed sales and were ex­it­ing the com­pound of the Flea Mar­ket at the Mid Cen­tre Mall, Ch­agua­nas, via the south­ern gate op­po­site the JMMB Bank when a ve­hi­cle ap­proached them.

One of the three oc­cu­pants in the car opened fire on Har­racks­ingh killing him on the spot.

A mo­tive is yet to be es­tab­lished.

Mean­while, a few hours be­fore, Ker­win Leza­ma was found stabbed to death around 3.35 pm in a grassy area on the com­pound of Cen­tre City Mall, Ch­agua­nas.

Po­lice said their en­quiries re­vealed that at about 3.30 pm Leza­ma and a close fe­male rel­a­tive were at Cen­tre City Mall when they both had an al­ter­ca­tion.

It is al­leged that the woman was armed with a knife.

A short while af­ter Leza­ma was found dead.
