Sham Bridgelal, the 53-year-old brother-in-law of Crystal Harricharan, the mother who was gunned down last Tuesday after pleading for protection, has been shot dead.
He was gunned down while attending Harricharan’s wake.
Police say that at around 12.20a.m today, a car pulled up outside the Harricharan house while a wake was being held.
Bridgelal and others were outside the house at Boodoo Trace, Claxton Bay.
Reports state that two gunmen began shooting, hitting Bridgelal multiple times about the body.
He died at the scene.
Harricharan’s funeral was supposed to be held today.
Mother of two Crystal Harricharan reported to police that she had a falling out with someone from her village, following which, threats were made against her life.
Up to Monday, she was on the phone asking for protection.
Harricharan was executed in the driver’s seat of her car on Jarvis Street, San Fernando.
CCTV footage show Harricharan walking to her vehicle parked on the compound of a businessman.
She had just left the home of a male companion, at around 7.10a.m..
