A double murder, rocked the community of Friendship Village, San Fernando, this (on Friday) morning.
Four people were shot by gunmen who forcefully entered their home.., leaving a woman and their son dead, and her husband and daughter-in-law wounded now fighting for their lives at hospital.
TV6's Cindy Raghubar-Teekersingh visited the crime scene.
00:00A woman and her son were fatally shot when gunmen stormed their Friendship Village San Fernando home around 2.30 a.m. on Friday.
00:10The woman's husband and daughter-in-law were also shot in the attack and remains in critical condition at hospital.
00:1748-year-old Gracelyn Rambaran, her 58-year-old husband Vijay Rampasad, their 25-year-old son Randy Rampasad and his 22-year-old wife were asleep at home when several assailants broke open the front door.
00:47Gracelyn died inside the home while Randy died on the road.
00:53Relatives say he ran out of the house during the attack but was caught on the street and repeatedly shot.
01:00A relative says Vijay tried desperately to defend and save his family and they're worried it may now cost him his life as he remained in ICU up to late afternoon.
01:12When he shot Spelton, he pulled a cutlass in the room around one of the bandits and while he was running along the steps, the bandit, the bandit, the bandit, he shot him in the head and he fell in the step.
01:22He tried to defend his family.
01:24What's happening, he only had a cutlass and there's not much he could do with that.
01:28But it might not be powerful enough as a gun.
01:33A cutlass had a certain length, a gun had no distance.
01:35Villagers say Gracelyn and her husband are very nice people and it's possible the main target was the son.
01:45Relatives say while Randy did tiling and gardening work, the brutal attack could be connected to the questionable company he sometimes kept.
01:54Right now, people are creating the wrong crimes by doing the wrong thing.
01:59Yeah, more than for that could be, sometimes most of them parents don't know what's going on.
02:04I'll say like this question on the carpet.
02:06A cutlass in family's parents, be careful about the children.
02:11Give them good ideas, but some people prefer $10 in the pocket and they'll be happy.
