PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad, January 7, 2008 - Trinidad & Tobago's murder rate has already reached an even dozen this year with the killing of two men in north Trinidad last night.

Dead are Addison Williams, 26, of Palmiste Street, Morvant and Trevon Timothy, of Building B, Paradise Heights, Morvant. Both men were shot at around 7.30 p.m. yesterday in two separate incidents, police said and later died at the Port of Spain General Hospital.

The latest killings come as homicide detectives continue their investigation into Saturday's murder of Anastacio "Papa" James, 19, who was shot dead in a churchyard in Belmont and Henry Christopher, 49 of Marie Road, Morvant was also killed on Saturday on Laventille Road.

For real? That is why I love the people in my country. We really know how to commit to being the best at whatever we are famous for.

I guess you gotta compare the amount vs. the population, see who is more violent.

We have the number 1 murder rate per capita...i.e. per 1000 persons.... so yes... we beat the twin islands.... both in population and in murder totals.
