Rel­a­tives of mur­dered 45-year-old Bri­an Taitt of Co­corite are very scared for their own lives as they say no­body in the area is safe any­more.

Taitt was gunned down on Wednes­day morn­ing, 12 days af­ter a mur­der oc­curred at Hard­ing Place on the same spot.

Ac­cord­ing to a po­lice re­port, at about 3 am Taitt, who was at a par­lour was ap­proached by a gun­man who shot and killed him. The gun­man then es­caped. Taitt was the fa­ther of three.

A mo­tive is yet to be es­tab­lished in that killing.

Rel­a­tives, who were at the Foren­sic Sci­ence Cen­tre in St James on Wednes­day de­scribed Taitt as an "hon­est and very up­front but hum­ble per­son."

"He didn't cen­sor any­thing. He was a kind per­son. He was strict and straight­for­ward. We just don't have any idea why he was killed. We are scared and we feel that even if you avoid com­ing out they will come," Taitt's rel­a­tive said.

On Jan­u­ary 31, Roland Isaac was shot and killed in that same area. The par­lour own­er and a Kiss sales­man were al­so shot in that in­ci­dent. They both sur­vived.
