Police are blaming neighbourhood warfare for the murder of a 22-year-old L’Anse Mitan man who was shot dead yesterday morning.
According to police reports, around 10.30 am residents of Marcel Circular, Big Yard, Carenage heard gunshots and later found the body of Antonio “Rat” Superville in some bushes off the road.
Police said, Superville, who lived at Thompson Circular, L’Anse Mitan Road, may have been lured to Big Yard before his death. Superville was also robbed, residents said.
Relatives of Superville visited the crime scene and told the media that he had changed his life around.
At the scene, residents seemed not to be bothered about the murder as they went along their activities, even as Superville’s body was being taken into the panel van of Guide’s Funeral Home.
So far, 153 people have been killed for the year.
