Nevis recorded its third
shooting death for 2010, the fourth such incident for
the Federation, when on Tuesday night a Vincentian man
was gunned down.
Police Public Relations
Officer Inspector Vaughan Henderson confirmed the
murder late Tuesday night, telling The Observer the
approximate time of the shooting.
"Police responded
to a report of a shooting at Ramsbury which occurred
sometime after 10. Investigations revealed that 31-year-old
Wesley Trimmingham was discovered dead of what appeared
to be gunshot wounds," he said.
The victim, who was
said to have resided at both Cedar Trees and Craddock
Road, was shot multiple times about the body. So far
no one has been apprehended for the murder and police
officials assure that they are investigating.
Coming off the Federation's
most murderous year in recent memory -- 27 homicides
in 2009 -- 2010 began its homicide toll on the very
first day. At about 6 a.m. January 1, 26-year-old
Kittitian Keithon Stanley was shot to death at Craddock
Road, Nevis and six days later on January 7, 23-year-old
Kimoy Powell was gunned down at Crosses Alley at about
8:50 pm.
The third murder occurred
on St. Kitts on January 20th when Maxwell 'Mad Max'
Chumney of West Street, Newtown was discovered shot
to death in his yard. He was 32 years old.
No arrests have been
made in any of these three previous murders.
