A case of mistaken identity.
That’s what police suspect in the case of the murder of 41-year-old man Dillon De Silva on Thursday.
The 41-year-old was shot and killed on the Western Main Road, Cocorite near John Street around 11:30am.
He was found in a neighbour’s yard.
His mother, Dianne Hernandez, 60, is quoted as saying that her son was “a bit slow” and had the mentality of a child.
She said he was on his way to deliver eggs to a neighbor when he was shot.
Police apprehended two suspects, 25 and 35, from Cocorite while they were heading east along Independence Square South in a black Toyota Yaris.
The police also seized a loaded gun.
Police suspect De Silva was killed because he was mistaken for another man who lives on the compound where De Silva was killed.
