Crime Watch host Ian Alleyne quickly arrived on the scene of what was believed to be another revenge killing this week.The deceased was identified as Jason Nero. Nero was gunned down on October 5 in Kelly Village while attending his mother Patricia Spinks’s wake. Someone reportedly called Nero outside and as he ventured out to speak the person he was shot several times. Spinks, 52, of La Solita Road, Kelly Village, was killed in her bed two days before.
Her family had not even had time to bury her when Nero was killed. Within minutes of Nero’s shooting, Central Police arrived on the scene, cordoned off the area and began investigations. There are many theories on the motives of both crimes. Police suspect Nero had killed his mother after she began legal proceedings to evict him from her home. They believe he was subsequently killed by people who were unhappy with his actions in a case of vigilante justice.
On October 7, Alleyne visited the Cumana Village, Carenage, where a former basketball player of the 1970s was found dead and his body in a decomposed state. Alleyne and the police are investigating the matter. The Crime Watch host also raised eyebrows as he visited the scene where another body was found decomposing in a St Joseph home. The victim was identified as Margaret Alleyne, 43, who was described by her family as mentally unstable.
The mysterious circumstances surrounding the woman’s death had crime fighter Alleyne baffled. In a similar case, the decomposing body of Vilma Harriett was discovered at Dolphin Court, Westmoorings. This alarming discovery brought the number of decomposed bodies found in the last week to four.
UNSOLVED MYSTERY
An excavator and forklift was stolen from 2 O’meara Road, Arima, on October 9. Anyone with video or information regarding this crime can contact Alleyne or the Crime Watch hotlines.
BREAKTHROUGH
In the matter concerning Davie Mohammed, who rears chickens, and Marla Agard, a depot owner, Alleyne intervened in a money dispute. A settlement figure was reached by both parties and it was agreed the monies would be paid off on an undisclosed date.
