Barbados: Mothers puzzled by sons’ killings

(Barbados Nation) The mothers of two sons who died just over half-hour apart are perplexed about their deaths.

Antuan Connell, 20, of Freyers Well, Checker Hall, St Lucy, was shot Friday night around 11:50 as he slept on a sofa in the living room.

He was rushed in a private vehicle to Sandy Crest Medical Centre in St James, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

Forty minutes later, 31-year-old Jamar Small, of Scott’s Gap, Brittons Hill, St Michael, was also pronounced dead at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) after he was attacked by a group of men while riding his bicycle in his home district.
