The mur­der toll in To­ba­go con­tin­ues to rise, with the lat­est vic­tim, Nicholas Mitchell, shot and killed in Ar­gyle last night.

This brings the is­land's toll to 24.

Mitchell, 32, was one of two men mur­dered in Ar­gyle with­in hours. He was asleep when gun­men en­tered his home through a win­dow and shot him. He was pro­nounced dead at the scene.

Bran­don Ed­wards al­so suf­fered fa­tal gun­shot wounds on Fri­day night as he made his way home af­ter lim­ing at a bar.

Rel­a­tives be­lieve the mur­ders may be re­venge killings linked to the mur­der of Aman­da Guer­ra, al­so known as "Dol­ly Boss." Guer­ra, orig­i­nal­ly from Trinidad, was shot by gun­men in Au­gust on Lam­my Road. She died at Rox­bor­ough Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal while re­ceiv­ing emer­gency treat­ment.

Chief Sec­re­tary Far­ley Au­gus­tine could not be reached for com­ment.

Re­cent­ly ap­point­ed ACP Os­wain Subero, who ar­rived in To­ba­go on Fri­day, al­so could not com­ment when con­tact­ed by Guardian Me­dia.

To­ba­go’s new Se­nior Su­per­in­ten­dent, Earl Elie, has re­mained un­reach­able since his ap­point­ment as the new op­er­a­tions com­man­der for the To­ba­go Di­vi­sion.
