00:00Relatives of 36-year-old doubles rapper Darren Francis, who was beaten to death near his
00:06Karapu home on Tuesday, is calling on the public to stop spreading rumours about him
00:11on social media.
00:12I would like everybody who posts on Facebook and WhatsApp and stuff about my brother, that
00:18he's a little juggler and you know, he's not that, he's not a juggler, he's just a hard
00:23working young man who likes to work for his money and buys nice things for himself.
00:30His sister said that he was a simple man and speculated that people may have been jealous
00:35of him as they can find no other motive behind the fatal attack.
00:39Because it's senseless, to me it's very senseless, because if you're jealous of him and you know
00:45rob him or something, beat him up if you want to beat him up, you know, and rob him, take
00:49the car or whatever, but leave him alive.
00:51He's a simple person, you know, a jeans and a jersey and he, you know, he's not one of
00:57them brand name stinkers and you know, brand name watch and you know, all this kind of
01:02thing.
01:03She said that she and her family were robbed of ever seeing Francis get married and have
01:07children.
01:08Young now, start to live his life, a hard working young man, like his car, like his
01:14music, always in something, you know, some little occupation thing, you know.
01:18He like his birds, he and his father always going for a walk, he and his nephew always
01:22building some speaker box or something, you know, never sitting down.
01:26We are family, we don't really, you know, we don't really mix and we don't have no bad
01:32ways to say, well, you know, he out there selling drugs, and him never calling nothing.
01:36He's not no bad boy to say, well, he out there on the corner, you know, looking for a fight
01:39or nothing like that.
01:40All right, he would rather be home when he finish work, he come home, he sit down, he
01:43watch TV, buy a little kiss cake, you know, normal thing, you know.
01:47She is calling for more to be done to fix the crime situation in this country.
01:51I believe something has to be done about this crime in Trinidad.
01:54Yes, it is a senseless thing, too many innocent people getting killed for no reason at all.
01:59Too many home invasions, too many, you know, robberies, you know, senseless.
02:04This is killing is a senseless killing because we don't understand why, right?
02:08We don't understand why it is and nobody seems to, you know, have any answers to the questions
02:15that we have.
02:16I don't know, but I don't know what else to say.
