The shooting happened inside the family's two-bedroom wooden house at Teak Drive, offhandcuff Macaulay Road, around 9 pm on November 28.

The couple's seven-month-old son and another minor relative narrowly escaped death when the killer pointed a gun at them, but it jammed.

The minor grabbed the baby and ran to alert relatives, escaping with their lives.

The killer ran along a track that leads to the southbound lane of the Solomon Hochoy Highway and got into a wagon that was parked on the shoulder, which drove off.

Relatives said the minor, like other relatives, is deeply traumatised and fearful of being in the community.

Narine's funeral took place on December 3 and Lallan's was on December 4.

Six years ago, on December 6, Lallan's younger brother Neil "Jacko" Bhagaloo, 33, a scrap iron dealer, was gunned down at the family's home next door.

Someone was charged in the case, which is still pending in court.

In September 2023, Lallan's uncle Sylvan "Puncin" Lallan and his cousin (Sylvan's niece) Andrea Lallan, 13, were shot dead at the family's home on Old Mayaro Road in Libertville, Rio Claro. Another uncle was shot and wounded in this shooting.

A villager was charged, and the case is also still pending in court.
