– during row with relative
(Trinidad Express) – A husband and wife are fighting for their lives at hospital after being burnt during an altercation with a relative.
Andrew Massy, 20, and Leenna Ramdhanie, 21, were burnt at a house at St Marie Emmanuel Road, Cumuto.
Both were arguing with a male relative when he allegedly threw a flammable substance and set them on fire on Friday.
The two sustained serious injuries and were in critical condition at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex, Mt Hope, police officers said.
The house was destroyed.
A 51-year-old man is assisting police with investigations.
Police are also questioning a man who is at the San Fernando General Hospital with gunshot wounds.
The man went to the Couva Health Facility around 1 am on Sunday seeking treatment for the injury and law enforcement officers were contacted.
Officers believe he was involved in a shooting at a nightclub at Cunupia.
Around 10.30 pm on Saturday two armed men entered Night Shade Recreation Club along Mon Plasir, Cunupia, and opened fire on patrons.
An off-duty police officer used his licensed firearm and returned fire.
The men escaped in a gold-coloured Nissan Almera but not before two patrons were shot.
Indar Bhola of Charlieville and Bobby Gopaul of Cunupia were taken to the Chaguanas Health Facility and transferred to the Mt Hope hospital. They were said to be in stable condition.
The suspect remains under police guard at the San Fernando General Hospital.
