A 45-year-old man became the country’s 50th murder victim of the year when he was shot while asleep in his bed early yesterday morning.
#The victim was last night identified as George Bain Jr aka “Hoover”. The Tribune understands he was an employee at the Ministry of Works.
#Officer in Charge of the Central Detective Unit, Superintendent Paul Rolle, said the man was found dead in his bed around 7.30am in his home off Shirley Street.
#“Officers got a call from concerned neighbours that there was a possible crime in the Freetown Lane area. When officers arrived on the scene, they observed the bedroom window of a house with several bullet holes in it,” Supt Rolle said.
#“Officers forced open the door and found the 45-year-old victim in bed. He had multiple gunshot wounds in his body. During the night persons unknown fired shots into his bedroom, hitting him while he was asleep.”
#He was pronounced dead at the scene. Supt Rolle said police are unsure of the motive and have no suspects at this time.
