TWO men were murdered in separate incidents last night. In the first, a man was shot while driving his car and, in the second, a 22-year-old was gunned down by two men as he was out walking. The killings came hours after National Security Minister Marvin Dames said that, while the country’s murder count has remained below 100 for the second straight year, the government is “still not happy” with a death toll that is “still too high”. At the scene of the first killing in the Baillou Hill Road area, Superintendent Dencle Barr, officer-in-charge of the southern division, said police received a report after 6pm of an incident involving a vehicle at John Road and Blue Hill Road. Mobile Division officers responded and found a man in the vehicle with apparent gun shot injuries to the body. Supt Barr said initial information suggests another car - a dark coloured, right hand drive vehicle - may have been following the victim and that shots were fired. The victim is a dark skinned male who appears to be in his early 30s, Supt Barr said.
