A tragic incident unfolded on Christmas morning in Arima, resulting in the death of two individuals, including a 14-year-old boy, and a gunshot injury to an eight-year-old boy. The pre-dawn attack occurred when an unidentified gunman entered an under-construction house on Pinto Road. The police, alerted by a report of an ongoing shooting, arrived at the scene to find 23-year-old Dijon Osborne Cottoy dead on a kitchen mattress. In a separate room, they discovered the lifeless body of 14-year-old Fadius Malchan, a student of Johnson’s Finishing School, with gunshot wounds to his head. Fadius’s eight-year-old brother, also a victim of the attack, had suffered a grazing gunshot wound to his neck. He was transported to a local health facility and later to the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex, where he was deemed stable. With these fatalities, the country’s murder count for the year has risen to 359, a significant drop from 610 during the same period last year.
