Masked gunmen shoot two dead in Barbados

(Barbados Nation) An elderly man and his son-in-law were killed last night in St George by two masked gunmen.

Dead is 79-year-old Arthur “Fred” Chaderton of Salters and Metamara Stock, a 42-year-old Austrian who was on holiday with family members.

Reports indicate that Chaderton was shot to death at the entrance of his home around 7:25 p.m., while his son-in-law died minutes after arrival at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) with gunshot injuries.

Sources told the midweek NATION last night that it is believed the killers went to the wrong residence and may have been targeting Chaderton’s brother, the owner of the Bridge Supermarket at Charles Rowe Bridge in the same parish. One driveway leads to the residences of both Chaderton brothers.
