Several people questioned in connection with Tobago quadruple murder

Tobago investigators have questioned several people in relation to Monday’s quadruple murder in Black Rock, Tobago.
Four men, Anslem Douglas, Gregory Hamlet, Samuel Mc Cain and Jamoki Duncan were killed after gunmen wearing camouflage uniforms stormed Douglas’ home around midnight. The men were gambling at Douglas’ home when the shooting happened. Mc Cain, Hamlet and Douglas died on the scene. Duncan died just after 9.30 that night.

Head of Tobago’s police ACP Collis Hazel told Guardian Media that investigators are exploring all possible motives at this time. He said, “At this point in time, we are questioning two persons who are suspects in this matter, and we are working feverishly with the other persons in order to bring the matter to some level of closure.”

Snr Supt Rodhill Kirk clarified to Guardian Media that not all the people being questioned are suspects. He said a series of questioning with several people was done throughout Monday and yesterday and will continue today. “The last status we had was that the persons who were questioned were out. I know the investigators are talking to other persons now, but I can’t say if it’s in the capacity of informant or suspect. They, however, didn’t tell me if any suspects are in custody but are talking to people.”
