A Greenvale contractor is in police custody in connection with the murder and attempted murder of two men in La Horquetta on Saturday.

The suspect has been identified as Learie Roach of Greenvale, who is closely affiliated with the La Horquetta/Talparo Constituency Office, headed by its Member of Parliament Foster Cummings.

Roach is in custody at the Region 2 Homicide Bureau of Investigations office in Arouca.

He is not known to be involved in criminal activities, Uncutt News Media understands, but usually hangs out with persons of ill repute in his community.

Uncutt News Media was told that Roach is a suspect in the murder of 33-year-old Kheon Mottley of Mantis Lane, La Horquetta, and the attempted murder of 28-year-old Cydic Jordan of Plover Crescent, La Horquetta.

Homicide detectives are expected.tp approach the Director of Public Prosecutions for advice on their investigations into the murder and attempted murder.

Roach, a recipient of CEPEP contracts, is said to be at the center of internal controversy over the construction of the $43M La Horquetta Public Library.

Uncutt News Media was told that certain people want Roach "out of the game" so that others can benefit from the contracts he usually receives and in particular the construction of the La Horquetta Library.

The sod for the construction of the La Horquetta Public Library was turned in January of this year at Slinger Fransisco Boulevard at Phase 5 in La Horquetta.

Construction of the Library is expected to be completed within 18 months.

A police report on the fatal shooting states that around 3:50 am on Saturday 20th May 2023 police officers responded to a shooting at Plover Crescent in La Horquetta.

When they got to the scene officers discovered Jordan on the pavement along the Western side of the roadway with a gunshot injury to the head.

He showed signs of life and was taken to the Arima District Hospital where he was treated and transferred to the Mt Hope Hospital in critical condition.

Other responding officers later discovered Mottley's lifeless body with multiple gunshot wounds about the body. He died at the scene.

Around 3:30 am, Mottley and Jordan were standing along the roadway at Plover Crescent when they were approached by two men in dark clothing armed with fi****ms.

The suspects fired shots at the victims before fleeing. The scene was processed and 3 spent 9mm shells and 1 projectile were recovered.

WPC Moore of the Region 2 Homicide Bureau of Investigations is probing the incident.

HOMICIDE IN SANGRE GRANDE: BUSINESSMAN KILLED — January 29, 2023 incident

NEWSDAY report only

MINUTES before he was shot dead by a gunman pretending to be a customer, at his Sangre Grande mini-mart on Sunday afternoon, the common-law wife of murdered businessman Sherwin Bernard visited him at work and asked him to leave early so he could enjoy the rest of the evening with family.

Bernard, 46, was at the Savannah Bar and Mini-Mart on the Toco Main Road, Vega de Oropouche, at around 3.20 pm when a man drove up to the store in a white Nissan Tiida and asked for a tank of gas.

Bernard got out of the store to help the man who pulled out a gun and shot him once in the face before driving off.

Police from the Eastern Division visited the scene with a district medical officer who declared Bernard dead.

Speaking with Newsday at the Forensic Science Centre, St James, on Monday, Bernard's common-law wife Natasha Nancoo said she was still shaken after his murder and did not know why anyone would want to harm him.

Recalling her last conversation with Bernard, Nancoo said she kissed him and asked him to come home.

"I went back and visited him at around 2.30 pm, after Church, I told him to take a half day and come home with me.

"He said he wanted to work until that evening, I told him I was going to make Agouti and roti for him.

"I even asked if he wanted me to bring some for him, but he said he would eat it when he got home, but he never come home."

Nancoo said she and Bernard have been in a relationship for the past eight years, the last three of which they were engaged. She said he planned to buy a house soon but was left devastated by his murder.

Nancoo said while Bernard had no children, he treated her three as his own and they were also grieving his murder.

Newsday also spoke to Bernard's older brother Shawn Bernard, who said he also could not think of any reason why anyone would want to harm his brother as he remembered him as an easygoing person.

The elder Bernard, a retired police officer, said crime was out of control and felt police were incapable of addressing crime due to several weaknesses in the organisation.

"If people knew the true state of crime in TT they would be afraid to come out of their house. It is that bad.

"The police are understaffed, they are undermaintained, there is a lack of equipment and personnel to deal with this situation."

Bernard said he also felt more should be done to issue Fi****ms Users Licences (FULs) to legitimate business owners to dissuade bandits from targeting them. Police from the Homicide Bureau of Investigations Region II are continuing enquiries.
