(Trinidad Guardian) Mo­torists dri­ving along the Old Va­len­cia Road yes­ter­day made a grue­some find, as they spot­ted the bul­let-rid­dled body of a man ly­ing on the ground.

Po­lice have iden­ti­fied the vic­tim as Mar­cus Mar­shall, who is said to be at­tached to the Cara­po Mosque.

His body was dis­cov­ered next to his ve­hi­cle.

Po­lice re­port­ed that around 12:40 on Tues­day they re­ceived a call that a man ap­peared to have been shot dead and his body ly­ing on the road.

A par­ty of po­lice of­fi­cers led by Supt Wayne Doo­d­hai re­spond­ed.

On ar­rival at the scene, po­lice found Mar­shall, dressed in a green Mus­lim garb ly­ing dead with both his hands clasped tight­ly to a bag that con­tained thou­sands of dol­lars.

Po­lice said he was shot mul­ti­ple times in the head and back.

Of­fi­cers dis­cov­ered over 20 spent shells at the scene.

On­ly on Sun­day, an uniden­ti­fied woman was found mur­dered with a stab wound to her chest and in­juries to her face at Tap­pana Road, Va­len­cia.
