A thirty-five years old man has been chopped to death in Point Fortin. He is Martin Pattan of Walker Street, Egypt Village, Point Fortin.
According to reports, shortly before 5.00 am today, Pattan was asleep with his common-law wife when four men broke down the door and entered house demanding drugs and money.
She told investigators she had to fight off one of the men and hide in a room with her baby; however, when the men left, she discovered Pattan in a pool of blood in the other room of the house with several chops about his body.
Police are working on the theory that the murder may be drug-related. Inspector Jones of Regional Three Homicide is spearheading inquiries.
