00:00If you want to go in a man's house and go where the man is not there, and teeth where you want the teeth, and do what you want to do, you're going to kill an old man like that?
00:08Live all his life, nobody tells me he's going to enjoy his life in the house. It's a real shame, it's a real shame.
00:16Gabriel Bipat expressed shock and outrage over the brutal death of his older brother, 73-year-old Lachmi Persad Sokram.
00:26Sokram's body was discovered by his son at De Peparo Road Tabakit home around 6.30pm on Tuesday, when he returned home from work.
00:36When he came home in the evening, he saw the door locked, so he opened the door and he went inside.
00:43And when he went inside the house, he saw the whole house, his father lying on his bed with his face down on the thing.
00:54And when you watch, you see, well, anybody could recognise a dead person.
00:59Bipat says his brother, a retired cleaner who worked for decades at the Tabakit Health Centre, was known by most people in the area.
01:09He was kind, humble and helpful.
01:12What do you want to kill an old man like that for? Right?
01:15And I assure them he must get about $10, because he wouldn't keep money in his house.
01:20The state of crime in Trinidad, if it had something to close down Trinidad, just wipe it off, clean off, that was the best solution.
01:30It have a devil, a zombie or whatever they call it, roaming this island and attacking every single person, every community.
01:39This place in Tabakit here, ICE always boast and say we are living in the best place in Trinidad.
01:45Bipat says they don't believe justice will come as far too many crimes go unsolved in the country.
01:53The victim was a father of two and grandfather of one.
01:57An autopsy has been ordered to determine the cause of death as investigations continue into what police say is at this time a suspected homicide.
