‘Serial killer‘ may be responsible for deaths of mother, son

(Trinidad Express) – The person who murdered Diane Williams and her ten-year-old son Shaquille Morgan, and sawed their bodies into pieces, may have been responsible for several other deaths in San Fernando.

Investigators have described the suspect as a “serial killer” who found unusual methods to dispose of his victims.

The search continued on Monday for the suspect who was released from prison two months ago.

Williams, who was described as a caring mother, promised her dead husband to shelter the man until he could find his own home, her relatives said yesterday. But her kindness may have caused her death, relatives said, as the man refused to leave her home.

She and her son lived in a house at Tarodale Heights, Ste Madeleine. “She wanted the man to leave her house. He used to eat out all her groceries and when he buy anything he would hide it. She was a hustler, who tried to provide for her son,” a relative who did not want to be identified said.

Williams and her son were diagnosed with a terminal illness. They were weak and frail, relatives said. Police believe the suspect is a man wanted in connection with the murders of 49-year-old Rudolph Sammy and Peter Samaroo in November 2005. Their decomposing bodies were found in old barrels in bushes at Skinner Street, Mon Repos.

The men lived in adjacent apartments in the same building. Police believe that Samaroo, a painter, and Sammy, a San Fernando City Corporation worker, were killed on the same day and an attempt made to conceal their bodies in water barrels.

Samaroo’s corpse was found by Express photographer Trevor Watson who followed a stench and found the decaying body. Williams’s relatives said they have been living in fear since the bodies were discovered.
