(Trinidad Express) Arouca detectives were on Saturday investigating the shooting death of a 57-year-old man in his home last Friday night.
The death of Ronald Clarke has pushed the country’s murder toll for the year so far to 281, according to an Express tally.
Clarke was a familiar face in the steelband fraternity as he was a frontline player with Republic Bank Exodus Steel Orchestra.
He also leaves behind a son who is an announcer at a local radio station.
Clarke worked at the National Maintenance Training and Security Company (MTS) and loved to take care of plants, his niece, Dawne Gordon, told TV6 yesterday.
Police said around 10.30 p.m., they received a call from Clarke’s 58-year-old wife that her husband had been shot dead at their Olive Vine, Bon Air West, Arouca, home.
When they visited the scene, police said they found Clarke’s lifeless body on a couch in the living room of the house.
