Seven persons are now in custody and police are searching for three others in connection with the gruesome murders of teenage cousins Isaiah and Joel Henry.
Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum yesterday con-firmed the arrests during a virtual press briefing, where he also said there was no evidence to suggest that the crime was politically-motivated, even as protests in Region Five over the killings intensified.
Initially, police arrested the owner of the coconut estate where the suspected crime scene was found, as well as the owner’s son and his handyman. However, they later arrested two of his labourers and yesterday two coconut vendors who also work with the farmer were taken into police custody.
