A 43-year-old man from Liberta lost his life after being shot multiple times last night.
The shooting occurred during an incident in Shanty Town, abruptly halting the final lap of carnival festivities.
He was declared dead at the Sir Lester Bird Medical Center.
Two other individuals, believed to be relatives of the deceased, sustained multiple gunshot wounds.

Reports indicate that while the deceased was being transported to the hospital, the vehicle involved struck another man, who is also receiving treatment at the hospital.

Time to reinstate the death penalty! Countries that have gone soft on using this form of punishment as a deterrent would, if honest, admit that reckless homicides have increased a hundred fold. Perpetrators of such crimes have forfeited their rights to live among humans!
