(Trinidad Express) – Two women and two men are currently assisting the Tobago Homicide Bureau with investigations into the sister island’s latest murder.

German national Peter Taut was discovered around 4.30 pm on Saturday in a shallow grave at his Bacolet Crescent home where he and his estranged wife Henny lived.

Taut lived a few houses away from where British couple Peter and Murium Greene were left for dead after a brutal cutlass attack on August 1.

Taut, an engineer, had travelled between Tobago and Germany for the past nine years and was planning to sell his home and move back to his homeland and reconcile with his wife. His plans were thwarted by his killers who, according to a friend of Taut’s, were not after his money, since he was not financially stable.

A close friend of the family told the Express that the engineer was threatened by the ex-wife of a friend.

This prompted Taut to move out of the area.

He returned four months ago and was in the final stage of selling his home in a bid to re-unite with his wife.

Police were alerted to his death after friends of Taut made calls to the police after they were unable to reach him since Saturday.
